Wonderful, highly underrated version that keeps the energy high all throughout. The jam after Pigs 'Box Back Nitties' line is killer

While the recording isn't great, you can still hear and feel the intensity. Really great and worth checking out

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Boston Garden

"Good luck to the Celtics" - Bobby. I believe in reference to the Pacers game (Celtics lost) great US Blues, Jerry doesn't fumble any vocals *I think*
