Salt Palace

What a version! The rhythm devils go nuts during the bridge jam, and the outro is just phenomenal..
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Aug. 12, 1981
Salt Palace

Hidden gem here. Nice long and well constructed bridge solo in Scarlet with a silky smooth transition jam, highlighted by some interesting Bobby fills.
Althea

Salt Palace

Possibly the slowest Althea ever played?
Passenger

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Rockin’ version with Brent lighting up the Hammond B3...
The Other One
Nov. 12, 1971
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Diamond in the rough here! Exploratory, but never melts down into headache inducing chaos. Beautiful contributions from Keith, and a smooth Cryptical reprise that segues into a hot Big Railroad Blues.
