Rotterdam Civic Hall

This is heady as they come. Pure driving Garcia, and they make you feel like a train is coming right down the track to run you over. Powerful shit here, man.
Good Lovin'
Nov. 6, 1970
Capitol Theater

This first part of the song before the main ten, is played at an incredible speed. So fast, but so good. Pigpen although having to sing at breakneck speeds, nails it. Kreutzman in particular is responsible for raising the tempos on this one. Hot version, no question, and most definitely heady. Pretty cool Good Lovin'>Drums>Main Ten>Drums>Good Lovin' sandwich. The second half of the Good Lovin' sandwich has Jerry playing some really great stuff, this is really a smoker of a version. Pure power. Then Pig comes back to end it, all in all an awesome version.

Jerry hits some awesome high notes in his solo. All on same page version, with Jerry and Phil working off each other.
