My "Go-To" Version. Surprised this wasn't already on HV. Jerry's leads are very bluesy and soulful. Really convey the meaning of the song

Feelin' Groovy Jam
The ultimate.... last dark star of europe '72. Starts with Keith taking the lead after bass & drum solo. Bob jumps in and finally Jerry. Epic,

Comes A Time
Solid,well sung, nice little solo, and it is so sweet after the huge UJB>Wharf Rat>DS>Sugar Mag that comes before it. It just fits in so well.

Chinatown Shuffle
Rip-roarin' version. The 2nd set perks up quite a bit after a sleepy 1st. Pig was still on.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
From blisteringly hot, into a sweet-and-light outro > OMSN, turning on a dime. Great fun.

Big Railroad Blues
Ripping as always on E72

El Paso
For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...
