Final time played, Pig is in fine form, acoustic set here is beautiful, entire show for that matter is transcendent stuff.

Great year for this song, no doubt, emotive, and serene. A quick ride in time, Capitol Theater 1970.

Awesome version and Garcia's voice sounds great.

Pigpen sounds awesome in this. He was a really great blues singer, and that fact is exemplified in abundance throughout this great show.

Absolutely charged, Garcia steps on the throttle, and never slows down until he slams the breaks to let Pigpen speak. Straight ripping guitar, and a legendary rap. What more is needed from a Good Lovin', a classic performance, and the prototypical heady version.

Majorly underrated version. Awesome transition and sick jamming.

Great powerful and intense version, the St. Stephen tease is awesome. Pure fire.
