Jerry and Keith are just on fire behind the beautiful vocal duet. This show is underappreciated. Give it a spin....

Always preferred the fast ones, but listening to Jerry rip up the solos here and it makes sense. Killer version here (with a rude AUD patch though).

Has a crisp and tight disco shuffle prefiguring the '77 sound. Jerry's solo fills are precise and brilliant. Donna's harmonies are as sweet as ever.

Nice on its own, and brilliant as part of a great PITB-SS-Wheel-PITB sandwich. You can hear the fun their having. Short but sweet.

From Phil's opening swoops to Jerry's passion-vox, and pristine soloing, this is a killer stand alone SB. Surprised it's not here yet.

Continues a brilliant combination of jams and tunes with Jorma that has the "nice heady acid cowboys vibe" that Glynparson identifies. A great and sprawling set of music between old friends here. The jams aren't really Around and Around, but this is the only place to say it without "Jam" as a category on its own.

Compare this jam to the ones on November 20th (nine days later) with Jorma Kaukonen from Jefferson Airplane. You can hear the difference immediately. Even if they hadn't rehearsed together as such, you can feel that the communication between them just works better than this one here.

Kickingly good fun, with that little extra oomph from Jorma. A good-times rarity at the time.

Very smooth and interesting jam starting around 13:00. Doubtful song order. Does anyone have the correct setlist?

One of the only times I've ever come close to turning it off, the sound is so bad. Listen if you're a completist freak like me only: Tape speed, warble, static, fuzz, it's a D-. Plus it's a long bluesrock jam with guest stars that might have seemed really exciting at the time, but is the kind of "common denominator" jam that musicians play when they haven't rehearsed together. Lotsa love to the grinning pirate who snuck in their recorder, but overall, meh.
