Bertha
Extended and ripping. Tape has a few sound issues, but its listenable. Sick version.
4
Sugaree
Listen past a few sound and static issues and you have a real beaut of a cruiser here. A solid doo-wop pulse gives it a different flavor too.a

Tennessee Jed
Jerry's bites down like an acid crocodile. Hot electric wires and sharp as a tack phrasing....
3
Playin' In The Band
Goes into a "The Main Ten" jam at 3:05 typical of the first month or so with Keith. Plus Phil is going bananas back there.
4
Sing Me Back Home
Show has a metallic twangy sound, to great effect here: turns this sweet tune into a hot industrial number.
2
The Other One
This magnificent monster could easily be near the top for '71. The show has electrical problems in 1st set, but not here. Listen to it.
