The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Very cool Ollin Jam into a nice, early version Shakedown, sliding effortlessly into a Playin' Reprise. The end of this jam comes together nicely with some staccato type playing from Jerry

HUGE call and response interplay between Bobby and Jerry. Fan of bluesy back and forth axemanship?? Yes please.

Jerry solo is an emotional swing for the fences. Powerful, within the expected framework of this somber song
