Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

I like 2/14/70 best myself, but this one is certainly up there.

Not a very good one vocally. The jams are good though, and Bob in particular is on fire -- unique and adventurous rhythm playing throughout.

What a gorgeous slide solo from Jerry -- perfectly phrased!

Wow, one of the best closing jams I've yet heard in a Jed!

Very banjo-like solo from Jerry. Cool version with some very spacious playing from Jerry during SSDD.
