Kicks off an excellent show with intense and driving energy. The quintet is super-charged and bursting with energy. One of the best versions I know.

Packs a lot into its 4.5 short minutes. Great bass-heavy SBD gives you a Phil masterclass. Love the short ones, love the long ones....

One of the slower waltz versions, with lovely vocals from Cowboy Bob, who gives us a nice country warble. Sweet backup harmony and Jer being Jer.

Philzone masterclass. Hot and tight jam, the Rider three-part harmonies sound like some of the acoustic versions from the previous year.

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.
