Blistering encore. One of the fastest and hottest I've ever heard. I think I just wet my pants!!!

These early versions, Jerry has some problems remembering when to sing the right lyrics.

A good example of how the shorter Pigpen tunes can still be really good.

Instrumental jam hitting some sweet peaks.

Jerry nails the "throw me in the jailhouse" part, spot on.

The instrumental jam is fluid, floating along like a butterfly. Jazzy, it seems like it's a brother of the jams towards the end of Estimated. Jerry flows into MIDI flute - which works very well - back into guitar-mode. The re-entrry jam is focused, with purpose, as it buidls and lands back home. Jerry's voice is in good shape. Beautiful.

Love the way they work the fiddle into the instrumental jam, along with Jerry and Bruce.
