The Other One
Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

Greatest Story Ever Told
Seriously high octane. A very subtle St Stephen lick by Jerry in the closing jam

Sugaree
Band recovers from a flubbed BTW and charges forward with this powerful rocker. Jerry and Keith's interplay as it rises is spectacular.

Bertha
Recording is good, with Keith and Phil high in the mix. Everyone is switched way on, and the jamming shows perfect unity.
6
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sweet version with an innovative transition. The whole band was on, but Keith and Phil are high in the mix and brilliant..

Dire Wolf
For a song that was effectively out of rotation at this point, they pulled it off with sing-round-the-campfire sweetness. Jerry growls it out.
4
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
One of the rare versions that stands apart with or without its NFA bread.
5
Jack Straw
Great Gritty version.... again amazed that this version of Jack Straw was never up here before!!!

Mexicali Blues
A superb version of Mexicali Blues... Keith very prominent.... Surprised it hasn't had a mention till now.... Listening to this on 24/192KHZ
