It Must Have Been The Roses

Freedom Hall

In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Hard to Handle

Fillmore East

Hot shit (and that "Okie" is too funny, given the context). It's been on my list, but I haven't heard anything from this run before. Can't wait to tuck in after hearing this!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Hot and light at the same time. Some deadly thumps from Phil too!
Here Comes Sunshine

San Diego International Sports Arena

Some nice playing! Have yet to hear a '73 "HCS" that's not worth a listen.

Totally agree, and there's some beautiful music during the transition. Grendel, you heard this yet?

Hell yeah! It's a thick version with everyone going off on it at once. And listen to Bob go!
