Caution
Not as notable for the Caution itself as it is for the really out-of-nowhere one time only Jam that follows, must hear territory.

Playin' In The Band
So like Weir's Ace version, however I feel this version is better. The middle jam goes like a spinning top which flips. Amazing.

Me and Bobby McGee
Billy's high in the mix, and he drives. A perfect snapshot, with Bobby's sweet young voice in perfect form and a solid driven pulse throughout.

Casey Jones
Insane explosive blowout for the set-closer. Caps an excellent first set with extraordinary energy.

Sugaree
Super-strengthed version with a solid, driving pulse. They took their vitamins this day: The whole show's has that bursting-at-seams energy.

Uncle John's Band
Sugar Magnolia->Caution->Uncle John's Band is a very cool sequence, kind of a preview of the Europe 72 jams.
