Cold Rain and Snow
Great forward, driving pulse to this one. Sounds like the had a blast playing it.
4
The Other One
A barnburner that suffers a bit from compressed sound quality (and a mic. problem), but still hot & worth a spin. Cryptical outro gets going nicely.

Mama Tried
Halloween psychedelia
4
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
fantastic early china->rider. Jam segment is flawless with great licks from Bobby flowing into a short little repetitive Jerry lick smooth into rider.

Good Lovin'
Halloween Lovin'

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Raw early version, the jamming in the final :30 hints at the song's potential, which twould be realized the following weekend in Port Chester.
