Strong St. Stephen into Casey to close the show with force..."What would be the answer to the answer man? Drivin that train"

This song and the band were both in such great and wonderful place at the time, and it really shows here

Good Lovin'->Caution->WhoDoYouLove->Caution->Good Lovin, all after an epic DS->Sugar Mag. Amazing that reaching such heights was typical in this era
