Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Fantastic 15-min pre-verse...on pace to be one of the best before it gives way to Drums and TOO after just 19:50
Good Lovin'
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

One of the most sophisticated versions ever...somehow jazzy and out there, yet still totally Good Lovin'
Playin' In The Band
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

One of the most gracefully intense jams I've heard...criminally underrated.
Dark Hollow
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

There are 20 votes for the night before that actually belong to this one, as it wasn't played on the 13th...
Mister Charlie

Rheinhalle

There's a confident saunter to this one...
