Each night of this run has a stellar encore. I prefer 04-29's UJB, but this one's still very solid.

Came back around to this one. They're rock and roll wizards.

Powerful and hypnotic.

Hell yes! Smoking great jam (a la 12/12/69 or 4/15/70) that dissolves into a nice space.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Nice little version that ends with a High Times tease.

There's a great Jerry/Bobby space > a long duet leading into Iko. Absolutely worth a listen to hear this interplay.
