Drags at first, but Jer's soloing builds beautifully on his new Wolf. Historical if only for that but also a passionate, sweet version.

Jer's b-day. Sweet jamming version with great vocals, in spite/because of what sounds like a cold/sore throat. Brilliant show all around.

Closes 1st set with a smooth but up-and-jumping version.

Jumping version capping off a blazingly great show. With a nice mellow outro, too. The crowd and the boys just seem so full of joy and love.

The boys experimented with Lucy till they dropped her and this here's a gritty gutbucket blues version. Essential '73 for you Lucy chasers out there.

The H>S transition is just exactly perfect, as Bobby announces before they tear into it. Tight, pristine musicality here, complete with that mind-bending buzz saw tone an some form-bending riffing before knotting us backwards into the Franklin's. Top five for me definitely.

Jerry rides a tsunami wave across this one. The solo is shredding, and listen to Phil. Jer might be the wave, but Phil's the water.

Very special long jam before bringing Pig back in. Not a vocal version - no rap - but worth it for the jam. Do any heads out there know whether this jam has a name? I recall hearing similar themes elsewhere, though can't totally recall where right now.

Grindingly out of tune. Rough. No vote.
The Other One

Fillmore West

Very heavy explosive jam, in spite of or above and over the kooky chanting. Leads into a "The Main Ten" jam that just blows me away.
