Janis and Ron - simultaneously raunchy and adorable. At about 11 minutes, Jerry takes advantage of a lull in the patter to melt faces.

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.

This wails. Incredibly slick transition to NFA, too.
