A very strange opening - it sounds like Jerry doesn't want to play it.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Misidentification. It's freakin' amazing, but it's not a Feelin' Groovy Jam.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Winterland Arena

Jerry and Keith are like two mad scientists, creating some never before seen boogie.
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Gotta hear it!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

A very cool transitional jam. Jerry plays it different enough to make it stand out.
Turn On Your Love Light
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

It's really good, but it's not the best. Other versions have better guitar work, better raps (4-27-71), better shine on me parts. Seriously.
