It's A Man's World
It moves, from start to finish, without letting up and the jamming is inspired. At one point Pigpen shouts, "suck your cock, man says that too".

New Minglewood Blues
Direct and straight to the point. Was surprised that Bob was able to sing another note that night.
4
Candyman
Intimate expression of this song's first, acoustic, right off the LP era. A bit slower, but great vocals and 3-part harmonies.
5
Friend of the Devil
Hard to figure that this isn't here already: sweet acoustic intimacy and a clear '70 AUD that does it for me.
6
Attics of My Life
For a song notoriously difficult to sing, this one comes of beautifully. June 6th is better, but good to hear them in sequence as the worked on it.

Not Fade Away
Spectacular thrashing jam. Jerry has an agressive metal sound that I like to call the "Dangerous Dead" from the era.
