The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

Sugar Magnolia

The Spectrum

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

Another very good version from 1971, however, nothing elevates it to the level of "Wow!!!!".
Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)
March 18, 1971
Fox Theatre

Pigpen is on with his vocals and harmonica work. Jerry puts in some nice guitar work and backup vocals. This version just has a really good boogie to it and I think it's a lot better than the acoustic version from 5-15-1970.
Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a nice acoustic version, but it isn't better than the electric version from 3-18-1971.
Ballad of Casey Jones
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

This is good, just not as good as 5-15-1970.
Ballad of Casey Jones
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is the better version of the two, with stronger and more soulful vocals from Jerry.
