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

Like a warm rain. They make it sound easy.

For the last one, very high spirits. They sound neither sick of it nor rusty.

Great tip! I love the HSFs of this time. Group is tight and bossy with it. They didn't exactly struggle with it when it was new in June, but it comes more easily to them now, so they push out. The Slipknot! tries to lose itself at the earliest opportunity. The group, challenged, drives through aggressively, relentlessly, idea following idea, earning a 5 minute drums stretch out and then back to business. A very unique version and the better for it. So many cool details.

Euphoria Ballroom

Typical mid-1970 Other One, that is: a tornado. Blistering.
Uncle John's Band

DS67 - Nice choices!
