"One of the weaker songs on the album."



Yeah. The reviewer was pretty damn harsh here, though I think that's a product of this being a track-by-track review. It's really easy to get redundant and I commend him for making it a well-written critique. I really love this record. "U.S. Blues" is my favorite song here and "Unbroken Chain" is a real gem as well; it's almost trance-like with how beautiful and slow-paced it is. I love it.

hey it's not Whamo but the bat signal on the previous page worked! agreed on all points. Phil's voice is smooth and tickles the soul

us blues is great. shine your shoes, light your fuse

i think most would agree Scarlet Begonias is the best track on here (myself included)

as far as live sets go, Scarlet Begonias > Fire on the Mountain is probably my favorite combo

I wasn't thrilled with the set as a whole, but I did get Terrapin, which is my favorite GD song

"I wasn't thrilled with the set as a whole, but I did get Terrapin, which is my favorite GD song"

honestly that doesn't look like a bad setlist. Sugaree, Uncle, Cassidy, Eyes, Terrapin, Fade Away

That high pitched frequency completely ruins Unbroken Chain. Would be a 5/5 without that. What a brainless mistake to make
