The band tries to catch Jerry and wolf as they’re seemingly on the loose. Traversing through snowy mountaintops. A wonderful journey.

Brent’s organ takes this to another level. I’m partial towards the Pigpen Version, but this shines in its own ways. Lovely phrasing from Jerry as well

Shocked to not see this here yet. Absolute scorcher from a really great show. Jerry’s tone cuts through like a scorching hot knife. Skin your wife.

Coming out of He's Gone. Billy goes ham, hitting the drums like a machine gun.

A mighty a primal drum section reminiscent of the early acid test days. Follows after a rare Cryptical and breaks through into The Other One.

Cleveland Music Hall

Machine gun Jerry. Absolutely wonderful and incredibly playful jamming. Genuinely explorative and has Jerry painting with fast strokes of his brush. Wolf is let loose and finds his way down Shakedown Street. Incredible all timer of a second set. Tastiest of sandwiches.

Winterland Arena

Transcendent jamming. Genuinely one of the best Good Lovin’s ever played even without the CCS. What a ride. Will come back to this till the end of time.
The Other One

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Smoking craters. A jazz clinic that has pure magic embedded into the music. An elastic ping pong jam ensues which has the lads exploring vast fantasy like landscapes. What a jam. Hugely underrated. The stuff of legends.

bzfgt, you are 100% correct that Darkstar is 100% right that Ragnaroar is 100% correct about your assertion. What a Truckin’

A stroll through the land of the dead and a peak behind the veil. The jamming is so ethereal and swirls with such ghostly intensity. A beautiful, otherworldly and paranormal jam that possesses the band and takes everyone through a life altering musical sequence of death and rebirth. This is one of the very first shows I ever owned on CD, and it has changed my life for the better.
