Jerry's in Fennario, but Bobby's in the desert.

It's a shame there's not more of this in listenable quality, but what we have is still blazing.

Solid high-energy version, Jerry's singing to beat the band.

Fantastic version, one of the greatest.

Agreed. Worth a listen, gets quite spacey (with Brent channeling some 70s electric jazz for good measure).

Cuca, you'll love the ripping jam into TOO. I've never heard anything like it.

Philadelphia Civic Center

This is a mighty fine version! I love your descriptions. As someone who just moved out of the great state of Maine, there's nothing like turning something great up, sitting out on the porch with something tasty to consume, and living the dream.

Fillmore East
