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

Short with great playing

Jai-Alai Fronton

Very unique and short version (under 8 minutes) and I like it. Especially great ending. Coming back to it upon receiving the Dave's Picks release, this is my favorite short version of the tune. Prelude of the greats to come in 77!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Campus Stadium, UCSB

This one is a scorcher. Much faster version than a lot of others but that's because Jerry and Keith are on another planet!
