Crazy awesome intro from The Eleven. Jerry's voice is a little low in the mix but still a great version

Pig wails on the refrain of this, frickin awesome stuff

Hot, hot version with an epic transition out of Shakedown. Melts into Lost Sailor soooo much better than I would have expected

Sooooo so good! Slow and tentative but melts beautifully into Eyes
Me and Bobby McGee

There really is just something about this song coming out of a deep spacey passage that really makes it remarkable isn’t there? Wonderful version here and definitely a favorite
Here Comes Sunshine

Boston Garden

I think this is my favorite Sunshine. Not as all-around GRATE as 6/22 or 12/19 but the spaciness in this song works imo and the long twisting, meandering jam out of the song into Bobby McGee is quite wonderful. For me, this is a completely satisfying performance with lots of little nuances to be picked up upon return listens
