Mighty Pig and some Ripple equals what the Warlocks were all about it.
Love the James Brown thing at the end, Did the James Brown PLEASE PLEASE on all the good King Bee's.

Taste Bud!
This is totally my favorite version of Taste Bud (of the admittedly few). One of Pig's best vocals, and the piano...just awesome, along with Jerry's twangy blues. I've always sworn this was from earlier though, a 66 or 67 demo? I remember a number of years ago David Gans playing it on the Dead Hour along with the studio take on Alice D. Millionaire and claiming they were from the same sessions? That's where I first heard this version of Taste Bud.

Great start to the decade
If this really was taped on 1/1/70 what an awesome start to the 70's. Good cuts all of them.

Unsurpassed Vol. 03
I have seen portions of this on someone's "Unsurpassed Vol. 03" collection
Does anyone have the setlists/dates for the Unsurpassed series?

Ripple is nice. Tastebud is amazing, some of Pig's best blues vocal ever. Mason's is sung better but played lamer than live.

Truth be told the style of Tastebud is where Jerry Garcia and Ron McKernan should of gone.
But the blues is forgotten about.

Good, but nothing incredible.
It's nice to hear a more personal version of Ripple. The first Uncle John's Band is more like they're still working out the mix while the second is very (identical?) to the version released on the album.
All in all, it's a good listen.
The sound quality is mediocre, but the mix is good.
