01-28-71 M.S. Lean, Mean, & Kickin' Butt (Soundboard Recording) (This is an excellent show. No joking around, with all great versions of each song. E has kind of a rougher sound to his voice, since this is a couple of days before he became ill, but the rough sound is a good one. He also closes the show with The Impossible Dream.)
