Where is the love for this show?? A monster transition from Playin' into Franklins. Huge version, that blows the roof off the forum.

Legendary Terrapin Encore, I would put this in my personal top five. An absolutely ferocious final jam.

Awesome version and Garcia's voice sounds great.

Pigpen sounds awesome in this. He was a really great blues singer, and that fact is exemplified in abundance throughout this great show.

Absolutely charged, Garcia steps on the throttle, and never slows down until he slams the breaks to let Pigpen speak. Straight ripping guitar, and a legendary rap. What more is needed from a Good Lovin', a classic performance, and the prototypical heady version.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Majorly underrated version. Awesome transition and sick jamming.

Great powerful and intense version, the St. Stephen tease is awesome. Pure fire.
