Wembley Empire Pool

Unbelievably dense and intense for its length, just like the "Good Lovin'" right after!
Little Red Rooster

Civic Center

Jerry is fantastic on this one as well -- great tone!

Love Brent's solo on this one...hints of Jerry Lee Lewis.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Jerry's voice certainly wasn't as enchanting in '84 as it was in '77, which matters for this song IMO, but instrumentally this version more than holds up!

Capitol Theater

Very slinky, sensual pace and vibe to this one. Prefer the famous versions from later in '71, but this one is very cool in its own right.
