This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

This is a sultry little model. But also crisp.
The Other One

Hollywood Palladium

A little surprised there aren't more '71 Other Ones higher on the list. From interviews at the time, they were super into this as the cutting edge of what they did. So full-bodied, yet spare. Power.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Civic Center

Lovely liquidy 73 China>Rider. And Bobby goes absolutely ape in his "guitar solo" portion of transition. Really hot version.

Fillmore East

Definitely surprised this isn't waaaaay higher. This one has lots of wide architectural spaces and clusterfuck caverns. I'm turning into Nipsy Russell.
