Released in November, 1972

The album was heavily overdubbed in the studio, and includes Merl Saunders on organ. The onstage equipment setup was duplicated in the studio, to preserve the ambience, and used for the overdubs.

Several of the songs on this album ("He's Gone", "Jack Straw", "Brown Eyed Women", "Ramble On Rose", "Mr. Charlie", and "Tennessee Jed") had been intended for a third studio album which was to be a continuation of the sentiments expressed on "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty"; this third studio album, tentatively entitled "Rambling Rose" was not recorded.

"Cumberland Blues" is from April 8, 1972

"Brown Eyed Women is from April 14, 1972

"Jack Straw", "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider", and "Tennessee
Jed" are from May 3, 1972

"Sugar Magnolia" is from May 4, 1972

"He's Gone" is from May 10, 1972

"You Win Again" and "It Hurts Me Too" are from May 24, 1972

"Truckin'" > "Epilogue" > "Prelude" > "Morning Dew" are from May 26, 1972

"One More Saturday Night" could be from May 24, 25 or 26, 1972

"Ramble On Rose" could be from May 23, 25 or 26, 1972

"Mr. Charlie" could be from May 23, 24, 25 or 26, 1972

Performances of Pigpen's "The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion)" and "Beat It On Down The Line" had been intended for the album, but were not included. They are included here as bonus tracks.
