Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

Scorching.
He's Gone

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

One of the best. Coda chant with the crowd will send chills. Less than a week after dedicating it to Bobby Sands this one goes out to Bob Marley. A different sort of version, just as powerful, with a different sort of jam into drumz. Wild and mellow. Very cool sorta Miracle-Other-Jam. Magnificent.

Yowza!!! 4 minutes in, the madness begins. It ends as Bob says this one's for Marley and they head into a powerful He's Gone.

After Bobby and Jerry trade sweet licks in a hot Rooster, the jamming builds in this smoking China-Rider.
