Slower, moody and thoughtful with Phil and Jerry-driven explorations. Brief Slipknot tease at 8:20 and 13:50 and a cool Supplication tease at 9:30.

Inventive and crystal clear jam, leading into a 'nobody's fault' jam and a killer TOO>MLB where the '74 sound is just taking shape. Underappreciated.

Brilliant, cracklin' good, fast, tight and fun.

Winterland Arena

Crackles with up-and-jumping energy. Great show all around showing off the best of the era with Pig and Keith.

Some funky bass be-bop and beautiful chaos in order in chaos in the outro jams. Just exactly perfect.

One of the best Bobby-Jerry meltdown conversations during a TOO that I know of: Helped by fine stereo panning for the different guitars and great sound.

Rising and falling (y'all) intesity and super-charged rhthymic complications make for an interesting version. Keith on Rhodes is nice and of course we've got great sound for the Kezar shows.

Absolutely burning. Great improvements on the C.Miller versions. Keith's contribution really shines. Kezar gets a lot of play of course, but check out 22, 26, 28, 30 and 31 March for total Playin' headiness, some of which are arguably more interesting, tighter and more shredding than here. (Headphones only for some with sound quality issues.)
