China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 17, 1970
Cleveland Music Hall
Multigen sound quality, but unmistakenly tight jam with a sweet transition.

Doin' That Rag
Jan. 24, 1969
Avalon Ballroom
Song was brand new and they're searching for the sound, almost goes into a Violaesque jam. Transitional, hot stuff.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium
Deep and mournful, with great organ fills and group soloing. Very solid.

St. Stephen
June 7, 1969
Fillmore West
Massively crunching Stephen with Jer's tone like a machinegunbuzzsaw. Out of a killer DS too. Why no love yet?

Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 17, 1970
Fillmore East
Something happened to the song between August and September, and this is the "first" Sugar Mag that resembles the song we know, now it's tight.

Savage cut in it tho. Mike Lai's soundboard has the last minute, but the AUD just fades out (tape change?)
Playin' In The Band

Hofheinz Pavilion
I come back to this one again and again and just go nuts for it every time.
Good Lovin'

The immortal Pig Rap. "I gotta bouta dolla and a quarter... You can't buy much for a dolla and a quarter...." And so much more. I agree with Phil (!): This is some of the best Pig out there.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 12, 1973
William and Mary College Hall
Very hot, very tight, and freakishly good. Perfect transition into a nice Stella, too.
Morning Dew

William and Mary College Hall
To fully grok this one, you have got to listen to the Dark Star before it. Phil is totally explosive here, and it comes out of one his most massive solos of the year right before it. Jerry then takes his lead and tears it up in the most completely beautiful way.
