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.

Oh no question, but it's nice that it has some company!

cgarces, you might like this one. I know you don't avoid the later ones and appreciate a nice S>F. I've read that some consider this the last great show, and there is def. some X factor here. Also a few weeks before another great version I think you know, and I believe this one hits a similar vein.

Jam of the Week so I gave it a spin. This is a pretty decent version, cgarces, you should give this a listen!
Cumberland Blues

The > out of the DS is really cool. Billy and Phil are there while Jerry and Bobby are still returning to earth, and after some vamping, the thing takes off and cooks. Never heard a Cumberland quite like this one.

Goes off the rails quickly. Dark, brooding, intense jamming. Forgot they hadn't even played the first verse in that long excursion. Top notch stuff.
