Sneaky version with great playing by Keith and Jerry. Love what Jerry plays at the end of the jam.

I know they should have played Dark Star in Egypt. But this is a fantastic EP. Dynamic, dramatic, Jerry on fire.

Huge, 18-minute version with great dynamics, deep vocals. Bobby's slide playing and interplay with Jerry are great.

The interplay between Jerry and Bobby in the jam is fantastic

Great Scarlet solo

Warfield Theater

Sorry to get technical, but the five notes Jerry plays in the second phrase of the solo are the sort of thing that kill me
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Warfield Theater

LL isn't great but Supplication is burning, raging hot. Funny how they would do that. Bobby's playing is awesome. Also needs to be noted that Brent's organ playing is perfect for these tunes.

They take it way out and everyone is killing it. Specially Bobby. And Phil. And Jerry. And Keith. And Billy.
