Bertha
Powerful rocking opener, standard for the era but this version is given extra special attention.

Not Fade Away
wonderful rocker typical of the era as a set ender but given extra special attention here

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
absolute wonderful rocking version, another excellent version from 1971

Loser
a little looser and raunchier feel, love the little phil rolls, great vocals nice Billy K work.

Casey Jones
Truly spectacular version, tight and sung very well. Stays close to album version but is played exceptionally with nice back up from Bobby

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Piercing China cat intro with some cool cymbal work, ripping Jerry through the whole tune Hot version

Deal
From the last GD show at the Fillmore West. Jerry sings this beautifully,perfectly and the whole thing just sort of lopes along at a nice gentle swing

Playin' In The Band
A much shorter version than they would turn out later, and Bob forgets most of the words, but still shouldn't be missed
