Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away

Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Drums

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.
