Amazing that this one isn't here. Keith's first show, Pigpen absent.

Keith really adds some intensity. Do you know where your train is at 2am?

I can't believe this one isn't here. Short but very sweet.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

What about more of that wordless "vocalizing" from Donna? Very unpleasant.

Bob attempting to ruin his vocal cords at the end ruins this for me. Way too many times he did this.

You can't get this song too country for me. Not a huge fan of the song in general, because Bobby and Donna get a little too much for me, as Bobby does from the 7:20 mark on. Which ruins it for me.

Jerry does a wild, neverending coda. Bobby says good night, we aren't having it, and they do Casey Jones as an encore.

Some really fine playing by Jerry here. Vocally not nearly the best, though. A very long show, so they were getting tired. So were we; at least I was able to just stagger home to Mirrielees House.
