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

Right on...definitely takes an adjustment, but this set pays off big time...I sprung it on a deadhead friend, and he loved it. Definitely gives the "being there" feeling, peaking with the crowd and all that...

This one has to be higher...it's downright shameful...the pure psychedelia oozes out of every corner
