Mexicali Blues
Rip Roarin' from everyone. Jerry's second solo sounds like James Burton attacking a pedal steel

The Other One
coming out of a 7min drums, this one'll leave a smoking crater of yr mind... rest of the show ain't too remarkable, but hot damn!
5
Ramble On Rose
One of the earliest live versions ever and boy oh boy is Jerry into it. Belts out the lyrics. Quick tempo & a real joy to hear!

Cumberland Blues

ROCKING version of this great rock n roll classic. Wonderful shredding

This one has an interesting fantastic jam Phil and Jerry are true stand outs.

Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Nothing mindmelting but heady nonetheless

Drums
A nearly 7 minute drums. Part of a Truckin > Drums > TOO

Big Railroad Blues
The whole rhythm section is locked in here. Billy and Keith sound particularly good. A good precursor to the rip-roarin' ones from the following year.
