Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Flurry of activity. Bob and Jerry are screaming their lungs out at the end of this one

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.

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.

Me and Bobby McGee
Damn near perfection. A terrific take Jerry on backing vocals is perfect and bobby is so right on, totally in the pocket on this version.
