This one floats. Great sound for the early Jack Straw, I dig it.

hot, hot, hot. Pig kills it vocally and on the harmonica, and Jerry doing his thing per usual. So many great songs like this that they played allll tour long! For a brief second, this one has a small New Speedway Boogie-ish jam towards the end that makes it real neat
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Really cool China Cat here and a much slower-than-usually played Rider. And I like it!

Hot as hell, this Scarlet>GDTRFB is killer. And what an awesome surprise this must've been instead of FOTM! No comparison between the two, but I think a little change up hits the spot with this performance
