Victim Or The Crime
Sept. 3, 1988
Capital Centre

Smokin' hot version in its early pairing with Foolish Heart. This whole unusual 2nd set rips!

Nobody's Fault But Mine
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Fully jammed out vocal version in underrated jam from late '73...probably the peak period for NFBM...

Easy Wind
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Rippin' Easy Wind with TC high in the mix. This whole show is underrated.

Big River

Not flawless, but smokin' hot nonetheless

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Wow! This is a blisteringly hot Eyes. Not even that jazzy...just relentless and rippin'! It's like they channeled 1977 for a sec. Keith on electric keys, Phil jam, and Jer shreds...what more do you need? Perhaps second only to 6/18/74, imo
Eyes Of The World
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

Love Keith's work on the Fender Rhodes here...just the jazzy touch Eyes calls for. (edit) Wow. The official release of this from the PNW '73-'74 box set sounds AMAZING. This one should be ranked higher. Period.
Looks Like Rain
Dec. 1, 1979
Stanley Theater

Awesome rolling thunder effects by the drummers lead this one off
Turn On Your Love Light
Dec. 28, 1969
International Speedway

This one should be much higher...just saturated with that certain energy and it's own kind of ramshackle perfection
Alligator
Nov. 10, 1967
Shrine Auditorium

WOW. Drippy lysergic weirdness...
