Super loose in the joints and fun. They seem to be searching for the '71 sound throughout the run here but I like this one.

High powered and super charged. The last third of the first set is a real killer.

Not the best show, but the best Rat of this run. 4th ever, but the first one to stretch out and become its full self.

Want to be present at its birth? The infant Bacchus emerges. I love this song. This is the 1st time they nail it.

Passes through many phases, always exploring new riffs and hinting at further jams without ever losing its essential feeling and sound. Great stuff.

Playin' in 2nd half of '71 shows the seeds of evolution toward the epic it would become in the next year. This one is tight and cool. Good version.

When Pig Dead hits your mind give this one the time. No brakes, no hesitation, no regrets. Oh - and one of Jerry's all time best blues solos too.

Great extensive jam from an all-around wonderful '70 show.
