Crystal Ballroom

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)

Good Lovin'

Capitol Theater

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.

Beautiful weirdness here - Even the 'Outer Limits' space spookiness is intriguing.

That Tighten-up is porno-tastic.

I just listened to this 4 times in a row. My brain is pudding. Happy pudding.

On archive.org, click 'other copies' and go with the Ken and Judy Lee version.

This one is kinda unbalanced, somehow...the first 20 to 25 minutes just don't grab my attention - it isn't 'bad' by any stretch, it just does nothing for me...but that last 10 minutes or so makes up for it. Saying that there's a Philo Stomp and a double-time Feelin' Groovy in there actually sells this section of jam short. It's more than that, somehow - again, just can't really put my finger on it, but the tail end of this version is worth ingesting.
