Like the Jack Straw earlier, they take a slower deliberate pace to create a new vibe. Here you can hear them jam with over the sound of a train. Cool.

Strange, almost experimentally slower version with some problems, but different guitar lines. Almost a novelty.

Anthemic version with great chorus vocals. Could be the closing music for a great western movie.

The transition jam back to NFA is one of the trippiest, dreamy, paintbrushes of sound ones I know.

Our boys give in to the heckler and rip out a classic Truckin' here. Great rock and roll here with a punchy, aggressive vibe and great soloing.

Hardly recognisable for anyone familiar with the acoustic versions, but an absolute pleasure.

Inventive, energetic and fun. A beaut from one of the great months.

"Burn down the Fillmore gas the Avalon". Did I hear Bobby right around 2:35??? To answer my own question, it appears that Bobby started this as a dig at other venues when they were co-running the Carousel. These lines don't appear on Anthem.

Pure, clean high-flying jam. Mind-blowing how well they played in 11/4 without spontaneously combusting. Pig's organ never sounded so much like the organ on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". More early traces of the Bard's influence on the boys?

Great 2nd set, yes, but this Eyes takes it well furthur... It's got everything - blazing, soaring and blisteringly fast. Really tops.
