Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

Eyes Of The World

International Amphitheatre

A few vocal flubs but this one is spectacular. Absolutely tremendous Eyes in a stellar second set. Love these early versions, so fresh and uniquely and wonderfully played.

Boston Music Hall

Incredible solo by Jerry in this one. Suuuuuuper underrated on this site. Coming on the June '76 box set. Also Donna is outstanding here.

Jerry's voice on these '70 Black Peters is sublime.
