Playin' gets interwoven throughout the second set. Solid stuff from a great two night stand in Denver

Wore the tape out on an old AUD of this version. Just re-upped on a nice SBD. Beautiful rendition of this delicate ballad. Hot string of shows too

Baltimore Civic Center

A bit of hype on this version, so i checked it out. To my ears, it is pretty standard for the era, which is to say, it is great, appropriately spacey and pleasant. These shorter May '77 EPs are really enjoyable, though i tend to prefer the longer, more exploratory later versions. This is still a goodie though and deserved of dap

God almighty!!! Jerry is attacking this like it owed him money. Just fierce and unyielding. Absolute smoke show....

Keith fills on this one make it a gem. Note perfect and Jerry vocals are tenderosa
Good Lovin'

Raceway Park

I've found post-Pigpen versions of this song to be a bit of a filler landing pad for a Bertha segue, but this one shines in energy. Bobby is screaming the vocals at the end, which amps this one up several notches (the boys amps went to '11' this night...)

Augusta Civic Center

The heartache in Jerry's weathered voice, his thoughtful licks in the quiet moments, the confluence of full band energy in the peaks - this one is an emotional powerhouse
