The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Wow - Jerry reaches a really high peak half way through. Worth a listen from a solid show.

Bruce and Phil shine throughout. Everybody jumps in for the final instrumental break, showing the potential for an all-out jam fest.

Zoo Amphitheater

Bob's vocals are hot, Jerry's guitar tight. Phil thumps along with a driving beat. Lots of fun in less than 3 minutes.

Brent is turned up really loud and his performance is lackluster. It mars the song.

I like this instrumental break, as Jerry plays slow and lazy. It makes this one stand out in its own way.
