Wharf Rat
This is a tremendous 10 minute version...cool riffs by Jerry and Bob sounds like he's playing DS at the end. This is a keeper!

Playin' In The Band
I'd argue this was the first Playin' as we came to know it after the end of the "Main Ten" and "country warbler" versions from '71.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Bobby blows a gasket on this one. Raw and powerful, showing exactly where they were headed before Europe. High energy rocker.

Mister Charlie
Part of a great first set, the band is on fire, and Pigpen in great form. Tight rocker.

Good Lovin'
Pig on a ferocious rampage, the band sizzling hot behind him, and all this in the first set. This show deserves more love.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
They push the energy up and up and up. Special transition into OMSN. An all-round high voltage jamming show. Underrated.
