Playin' In The Band
Students of Playin's transformation from the Main Ten to country single to cosmic monster should check this. Tightly packed and just about to sprout.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
One of the tightest and best jams I've ever heard. Absolute magic. Goes straight into a killer Lovelight. This is an amazing show. Check it out.

Turn On Your Love Light
Everybody's ALL IN on this macho ruckus - the closing hollering and howling is for the ages. Peak powered tightly loose jams.

Cumberland Blues
Bobblehead city upfront - then Jer breaks out the banjo licks to get yer feet tappin.
5
Loser
Superfine vox and a cup of cold coffee - Jer on the guit-box lamenting to Sweet Susie and Phil with a bunch of giddyup.

Me and Bobby McGee
Jerry throwing down the distorted country skronk with Bobby delivering the sweet vox. Cut at the end does not distract from fine delivery of 99%.

Truckin'
Bar band jammin extra Jerry fills - we are all on the highway scraping metal with the big rigs here... hmmm .
