Capitol Theater

1st ever, slightly different lyrics, but an incredible delivery and freshness. Tricksters intro the country sound for NY heads expecting Alligator.

Inside this not great show is a beautiful short acoustic set, including this perfect beauty. Totally overlooked.

Absolutely pristine version with clear harmonies and beautiful emotive singing. Not a beloved show, but give this one a chance.

A blazing supernova of psychedelic force. Packs quite a wallop for only six and half short minutes.

Jerry's precision fretwork all over around under and through Bobby's vocal sections make this one a favorite for me. Perfect guitar fillagree.

Wow. No like, "WOW", oh man. Mind blown, totally wow, man. Just wow.

Deeply inventive. The influence of Miles is there, along with a other "fusion" music of the time. So many places in this one, the Scarlet is just glorious in between. And yes, the outro is jump out of your chair hand-clappingly good.

Transition has some beautifully inventive rhythmic interplay between Jerry and Phil bridging the two songs nicely.

Kicks hard and doesn't disappoint. High energy at the top of a mind-melting 2nd set jam-a-thon.
