Everything's perfect and beautiful in this one. Can we just say "All Scarlets from Summer '74 are epically heady", cause I don't know a bad one.

As brilliant an example of Billy K's genius as I know on the Archive. Great meltdown, too. Put it in the same category as 02.12.73. It's that good.

Starts simply enough, then around the four-minute mark just explodes into a beautiful carnival funride of musical unity and sweet sweet soul.

Very sweet and right out of a grooving MHUT. Summer '74 is chock-full of goodness, and this Roses doesn't disappoint one little bit.

2nd ever, very interesting. Sounds like they're working out the feel, quite uptempo almost rocksteady (not reggae, yo) beat.

Amazing. Just heard the whole show for the first time. Several greats throughout the show, but this is the kind of dazzling Stephen that got me on the bus and kept me there. They took their vitamins that night!

Great energy. Drives into a cool "Close Encounters" solo Jerry Jam.

Kicks into a raging high-energy epic around 07:45 This is what used to blow me out of my boots at the shows back in the day. Wish I could have been there for this one.

Just infinite. Midway into the jam Jer hits a riff, then settles on it, then brings everyone in on it. Collective massive jamming. Great Jack Straw on this show, too. Sorry for the double posting!
