There are moments this has the standard schoolgirl 'lope', and others where it seems like the preceding Clementine bleed into the mood

Fillmore West

Acoustic Truckin', with mystery piano player (Maybe Lagin, Nelson or the Loch Ness Monster for all I know - it just sounds great)

Starts out and ends as pure spitfire, but takes the time for a slinky Main Ten in the middle.

Unique little nugget of awesome - intro with Phil and Will Scarlet on harmonica. Just freaking beautiful.

Well, to be fair, would you want to see Godzilla crawl out of your ice cream? The tune itself is a mandolin-less acoustic rendition that Jerry plays hop-along-country tune with - compare this with 8/19/70 (another audience acoustic, but with Nelson/Grisman) - it's a completely different tune.

Indeed, and the My Babe that follows is like Big Railroad played inside out. This, or New Orleans would both have been interesting songs to drop into the regular rotation.

Instructions for an ear to ear grin: Ffwd to 16:30.

Furious little bugger. Any tune where you can imagine Jerry headbanging grabs your attention.

This wails. Incredibly slick transition to NFA, too.
