U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Strong version to open the show.

Row Jimmy
From a show lost between the great greats of Feb. '73, this song shines brightly. Great for Row Jimmy fans.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
First Half Step of '73 and they get it perfect. A hidden gem in an often-overlooked show.
