Summary

Here we are in the first weekend of May - and of course that means Saturday is Derby Day!

In honor of the Run for the Roses I had to bring you a set with 'The Race Is On' - and boy what a set this is.. it comes from the boys' performance on November 23rd, 1973 in El Paso Texas!

There are plenty of highlights here, including a dynamite 'Jack Straw', the 'mind left body jam' between 'China Cat' and 'I Know You Rider' and the complete 'Weather Report Suite'.

This is one of those shows you're going to want to play LOUD..
