Truckin'
Incredible verrsion of one of the best shows of 71'. They were so relaxed you can tell they were having fun this night!

The boys were in a really nice place this night. Killer harp work and Jerry is smoking. This is one of the better shows of 71 IMO!!

Me and Bobby McGee
Not the biggest fan of this song, but this version is nice and mellow!

Pigpen in top form here. Gotta love this early blues!!

Europe '71...Not as ballyhooed, but Pig Pen was hot as Paris in Summertime.

Me and My Uncle
Great sound. Some tuning/monitor problems earlier but by this they've worked it out. Nice clean version in what turns out to be a killer show.

Black Peter
Strong and powerful, like all the best versions of BP. Deep emotions on great pulse to this one.

The Other One
Absolutely fantastic space version, goes off in all kinds of crazy directions.

Wharf Rat

Jerry knocks the solo right into the French countryside. Billy has some nice fills and the quality is pristine! One of 71s best shows
