Good Lovin'
"I can sniff you out, like a trackin' hound...", huge jam with breath-taking moments and China Cat in between, absolutely gorgeous....

China Cat Sunflower
A curious Cat peekin' through some Good Lovin'. Not an epic CCS per se, but the transitions in 'n out are as smooth as a Michael Jordan layup. Unique.

Truckin'
The rockin' opener to a really GREAT 1972 show-wish this show could get a formal Dead release.

Tennessee Jed
Clanging twanging banger with just enough grit in the gears, could have gone a bit higher, but tight and right in its way. Underrated show here folks.

Playin' In The Band
One of the last ones with a clear "The Main Ten" jam in it (around 2:50), namely the primordial ooze that becomes the Playin' we know in a few months.

Chinatown Shuffle
One of the earliest Shuffles, and it's a good one. Pig sings some lyrics differently, and I dig the organ/piano combo.
