Comes A Time
A classic! The version that first struck that special chord in me

Jack Straw
Nice version, band kicks into gear and sounds great, ironing out a few kinks in the mix earlier in the set. Early Keith show = dynamite stuff.

Tennessee Jed
Jerry's soloing throughout this one is fantastic, precise and rockin'.

Playin' In The Band
Like 10.23 this has a burning, agressive quality and hard-driving pulse that gives it huge horsepower. Playin's eternal metamorphosis on display here.

Big Railroad Blues
A barnburner, charged up and powerful. Nice clear musical ideas throughout the jam.

One More Saturday Night
Rocking straight out version ends a hot straight forward set 1
