Pigpen drives hard here, harmonica all the way. Early fireball, only giving us a glimpse of what Caution would turn into in only a year!

Really bluesy, love the Guild Starfire sound Jer had here. Flows into a groovy early Caution.

Jazz. Just plain jazz. Keith really shines together with Billy on this one, they carry you away in the nicest way. How the he** is this not listed?

Bill jazzes on throughout the transition, and the jam goes just a little bit furhter than before. Cool version with a laid back IKYR.

Truckin'

Tivolis Koncertsal

As the jam is about to go into the verse reprise, Keith and Bob fire up a little two-chord that explodes before finally returning to the verse again. Really groovy version, even more so than other Europe versions. But the Keith/Bob explosion at before the verse reprise is hella fun. EDIT: I have to add this and the 5/3 Truckin's are the the best ones from the tour, they execute them perfectly (apart from Bob missing a line in this one, but the mind-gazzling jam outweighs that by a ton.)

Really cool start to be honest, they loosen up after they fuck up. Lovely stuff.

Easy to forget what you're doing when listening to this version. The faster we go, the rounder we get!
