Looks Like Rain
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

This version is just beautiful. Made me tear up on a couple occasions. A fantastic performance from a fantastic show.

International Amphitheatre

The drumming from Bill on this one is absolutely relentless, and it really pushes it forward. Jerry's vocal is also top shape here. What a way to end a show!
New Minglewood Blues
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Definitely more of a fan of the funkier late 70s version, but this is white-hot. Jerry is tearing it up on the guitar, and then Bobby is tearing it up on vocals - I swear you can hear him growl at one point. Fuckin' awesome.
Wake Up Little Susie
April 3, 1970
Field House, U. of Cincinnati

The energy here is great - I think the backbeat helps a lot here with the tune. The acoustic set during this show in general is pretty great!
High Time
March 7, 1970
Civic Auditorium

Even under the haze, I can tell this is a special performance. The jams are filled with energy, and the slower moments are subtle and beautiful. This is definitely my favorite "High Time." Just a treat!
