Notable for the "miracle beer" Bobby passes around to launch the song. "Everybody just wet your tongue". Okaaaaaay.

Playin' In The Band

One of the last ones with a clear "The Main Ten" jam in it (around 2:50), namely the primordial ooze that becomes the Playin' we know in a few months.

Fully loaded, hard charger. Tight, uptempo, and jumping.

Clanging twanging banger with just enough grit in the gears, could have gone a bit higher, but tight and right in its way. Underrated show here folks.

Solid and soulful. Jerry's voice is on point.

Pity about that string. Was chuggin' along pretty standard until around minute 07:00, then then turned the burners on and bit into it hard.

This will blister your brain. Hot doesn't even begin to describe it: This is supernova.

Thanks bro! Let me know what you think. Maybe "best 1st set" would be more likely. But the Truckin' and TOO from what we have of the 2nd set are both just amazing. Enjoy!

The cruelest cut I've ever found in any show.
