Downright TRIBAL! If this had better sound quality it would be considered one of the best of '69. Helluva ride, clocking in at 42 minutes. Spin it!

Embryonic Good Lovin', but fascinating thinking of how Good Lovin' transformed over the next two years.

Sweet, sweet Pig. So laid back, this Easy Wind is sleazy as should be.

Caution

Musikhalle

After the "mojo hand" breakdown, they lay out this insanely addictive jazzy jam, similar to the 4/17 Caution. Amazing version, top 5.

Veneta isn't 70+ votes better this version, far from it. Upvote this people; and fasten your seatbelts!

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

The Hofheinz 11/18 version is a more spacey and "out-there" version. This one is focused, but you really notice something extra inhabiting the gang this performance, as with the rest of the concert the song has this magical, dreamy sound to it. Is it Jerrys guitar tone? Bills amazing drum work? The general atmosphere? Anyways, amazing version, definitely a top 5.
