Fun, tight version with great energy and tight vocals. Fun stuff.

Begins sounding like the epic hard charging beast it becomes over the next months.

Not Fade Away

Cleveland Music Hall

The NFA>GDTRFB>NFA sequence in its infancy: 3rd time played, and remarkably smooth and perfect transitions with exuberant jamming.

The Other One

Cleveland Music Hall

Super-charged hard rocker here. Hits all the 1970 highlights, with power and precision: a white knuckler. Tape is rough AUD, w/ C. Miller cleanup.

One of Pig's best: Perfect vox, great harp solo. Jerry too. Some tape issues, but thanx Mr. Miller... thanks a lot.

Whole show is underrated.

Absolutely sick version, with a simmering Pig rap that's got some sizzling backing work by the ghee-tars. The sneak-it-in China Cat sandwich is a cool surprise (how many times did that ever happen?), and the reprise is full throttle. Fun stuff.

Unique jam, and an atypical rap for the time.

Tragic cut about five minutes in, followed by an unlisted Big Railroad Blues. It's a pity too, because the jam is a real heater, and we have to be happy with what we got.

La Bamba jam. It's definitely there. The cool groove starting at 19:30 is a la la la la Bamba and lasts about a minute and a half. Cool stuff!
