As far as these pre-August 74 versions go, pretty darn good; certainly far better than Veneta

Not the all-time best but surely deserves to be on the list

The transition is outstanding

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

This is as good as it gets. At least as good as 2/08/70 and better than 2/13. Pig is full of soul. This and 3/25/72 with the rave-up are the best versions. I think this one is my favorite, but the Truckin' jam at the AMA is pretty killer
