Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)
Great fun Pigpen song
4
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Another killer version, even with the cut in the tape this one never ceased to please!!!
7
Me and My Uncle
As clear and pure an example of MAMU you'll ever here.
3
Cumberland Blues
Toe-tappin' and up-tempo with great vocals - Phil sounds amazing on the out chorus. Fun stuff!
11
Wharf Rat
Soaring jam flirts with tipping into the outer void. Wild beauty with Pig on B3 gives it something extra.
9
The Other One
Moves between super-charged hard rocker and an open-spaced delicate beauty. Marred by a cut, so how far did it really go? Anyone have the complete?
12
Caution
Surprised it isn't here yet. Only one in '71 and it intensely musical and weirdly experimental. Crashes into a short feedback/tuning then a sweet UJB.
6
Truckin'
Not super long but very tight and intense
4
Greatest Story Ever Told
Different basic riff throughout...i like it.
4
Not Fade Away
Excellent NFA>GDTRFB as expected for 71. Cool outros for both.
5
Sugar Magnolia
Nice rockin' 1971 version.
6
Bertha
Not nearly enough love for this show.
3
Me and Bobby McGee
Absolutely beautiful version. Amazed its been overlooked!
4
Johnny B. Goode
Excellent mid second set choice.
4
Loser
Love ‘71 Losers
2
Casey Jones
Very surprised this tasty selection from the "30 Trips" 1971 show is not here yet. Great start to a great show.
4
Uncle John's Band
Long before "Let Phil Sing"
2
Big Boss Man
Pig's harmonica playing and singing is great, and the rest of the band sounds just as good.
1
Drums
Early 1 drummer solo
1
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Right before a fantastic caution
1
Feedback
Shortly after caution
