Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jerry's voice is haggard, but the playing really makes up for it!

Playin' In The Band
Weird atypical version where a good bit of the jam is just BW and the drummers, playing themes that sound like song ideas. Worth hearing.

Jack Straw
During the jam Jerry cycles between power chords and sick noodling, it's played so well they played it again their next show.

Sugar Magnolia
Jerry's tone this night sounds like a howling elephant, translating into excellent rocker of a Sugar Mags

Pretty Peggy O
Jer sings thrôugh a cold, but the beauty and sweetness shines through. Sounds like he would 10 years later, but with the '78 sound. Full of love.

Around and Around
Seriously 1of the best examples of the time shift section and an all around major heavy duty A&A!
