They attack this one with a rare level of energy and precision. Nice showcase for Pig on Organ too.

Keith and Bobby absolutely crush it, setting up a white hot solo from Jerry to kick off a brilliant show.

They Love Each Other
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Thick, gooey jam section. Doesn't sound like too many other versions. It's not the best, but it is unique.
China Doll
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

This reading has an angrier tone than most that makes it worth seeking out despite some really sloppy changes after the first big solo.
The Music Never Stopped
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

One of the best uses of MIDI I've ever heard from the boys. The horn effects make the jam portion soar.
Mama Tried
Nov. 8, 1969
Fillmore West

The perfect mixture of Psychedelic keys and Bakersfield guitars.
Good Lovin'
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

Until the drum break, this one is rough. That said, the incredible jam after that point is among the best improv the band ever did. Really a study in contrasts.
