Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Ramble On Rose
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Very fluid and smooth as opposed to the usual clang and bounce. Haven't been this captivated by a 'Rose' in quite some time...

Really moves like a single organism. Bobby's vocals are heartbreaking.
Here Comes Sunshine

"Stunning" is the word indeed, Cuse. What a show of confidence to open with a pretty complex song like this, and they nail it!
Truckin'

Psychedelic jazz cowboys indeed! This whole box set is awesome.
Promised Land

Kiel Auditorium

Keith is ridiculous on this one -- the whole Promised Land > Bertha > GSET hat trick actually!
