Really fascinating space/jam after drums, lots of other one hints that ends in an abrupt NFA transition

Phil-tastic - some vocal miscues but excellent regardless

Vocally one of the most passionate and the playing is fantastic - just listen to Keith!

Samson and Delilah

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Lovely audio recording of this one
New Minglewood Blues

Madison Square Garden

Vince solo is awesome - the two keyboards are fully integrated into the band at this point
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

Horn solo beginning around the 7 min mark is actually quite fun and funky. Not as much crazy improv + the band is still learning to groove with/around the horns but excellent and interesting, especially when the horns are nailed (and don't sound like a circus gone wrong)
