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.

Nice supporting instrumentals, especially from Jerry and Keith.

The mix is odd - most of the time, you can hear Pigpen and Billy really good. When it matters most, you can hear Jerry's guitar. Frustrating at times, but worth a listen.

I love you, Charlie Miller. Excellent job on what was a pretty murky board. There's one point where you can hear Pigpen playing a brief - yet explosive - organ, with Keith pounding the keys at the same time. Bob's vocals are just off the chart insane. You'll be hard pressed to find anything that is played this fast or rocks so hard. Incredible that this has never been posted by anybody.

Jerry mesmerizes.
