Great early-70s vibe on this (esp. w/ Moore's AUD). Honky-tonk Keith!

Love the double opener, typically great playing from the time. Keith fans esp. should know this Palladium run.

Never really expands beyond the song’s material, but hard and well-played. Hear in context of set 2.

Honestly I rarely listen to a full Drums, but Billy's playing all evening is really interesting. There are some WoS problems throughout, and you can tell he's giving extra because sometimes he's loudest in the mix. He interacts with everyone and plays really nuances parts, all while holding down a laid-back, so-tight-it's-almost-sloppy groove all night. This drums falls in the middle of a longer, interesting jam, and I'm glad they gave him the spotlight!

Been glad to see so many new folks on the site! Spun this again the other night, and it sounded to me like there's definitely a Dark Star-ish jam in here (both with references to the main riff and in the type of playing they do). Whole show is a must-hear.
