Jack Straw
A nice groovin' early version.
23
Dark Star
Jerry and Phil are off the charts during a really unique jam in the last half of this epic DS
3
Cumberland Blues
Jerry is on fire\
4
Tennessee Jed
Muscular and punchy. Jer sings it right on: kicked my eye and kicked my dog, midnight train. Energy reigns.
9
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Overlooked. No peace-and-love version, this is rock and freaking roll. The transition to Ryder is pure shredding genius.
5
Me and Bobby McGee
3
St. Stephen
St. Stephen -> show closin' Johnny B. Goode.
5
Deal
It was Keith's 5th or 6th gig. No pig (medical hiatus). Nice late '71 version at the old Eastown Theatre. Seriously underrated show
4
Johnny B. Goode
High - energy jammin right here - encore after closing with Stephen - they are feeling this one.
5
Casey Jones
Bar room jukin on this one. Loose but deliberate at the same time.
4
Mexicali Blues
awesome Bobby ass kicking
4
Black Peter
Wow this was in set one holy shit, great version
1
Truckin'
Nice set two opener interesting jammy c&w feel
4
Candyman
very beginning is clipped but this is a great version. Clean sound despite cut.
2
One More Saturday Night
Bobby picking up the pace, slinky fun version, lots of Phil.
1
Ramble On Rose
This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!
1
Sugar Magnolia
Show opener where the entire band basically plays percussion.
