Hurts Me Too
Dec. 27, 1970
Legion Stadium
Pig's vox never sounded better. Pure, fine Blue Ron soul and a rippin' set of solos, but sadly cuts out.

Good Lovin'

Legion Stadium
All about the jam. One of the mello raps of the era, and they go off in that way that says "let's do this forever". Why not here?

Friend of the Devil

Legion Stadium
Sweetness in form and execution. Even the feedback from the monitors harmonises nicely. A gentle, delicate version.

King Bee

Winterland Arena
Deep blues, two brilliant harp solos, great Jerry work (duh), and a Charlie Miller cleanup. Listen up!

Deep Elem Blues

Winterland Arena
Starts a little funny, but has that rare electric funk quality. On the recent C. Miller cleanup, so thank you sir.

Mister Charlie

Jerry's tone on this is dialed all the way in. Really special soloing on this one.
Comes A Time
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle
Powerful. Perfectly executed. The track list for the complete show on the archive is off by one song, so it has Comes a Time coming in at an extraordinary 36 minutes and 28 seconds, which is pretty funny when you think about it. In any case, they really pull this one off beautifully, even if it's a mere 6:40....
Truckin'

Jahrhunderthalle
Well I guess just like Bobby on this version, sometimes people just fuck up the words.
Chinatown Shuffle
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle
Coming off of an extraordinarily energetic Playin', this one has an extra oomph with the tempo just a bit higher, and Billy's back beat kicking it forward with a great, almost reckless driving pulse.
Greatest Story Ever Told
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle
Absolutely in need of more votes. If you listen carefully, you can hear exactly when they break the badassery barrier. Jerry shreds like a man possessed, Keith is brilliant, Billy all over it, and of course Bobby and Donna are in perfect sync.
