Comes A Time
1st version and Keith's 1st show. Jerry's voice is clear and full of meaning and remorse. Very beautiful.

Playin' In The Band
Massive transitional masterpiece. 1st with Keith, and he's the missing ingredient that tips PiTB over the edge into its full glory. Great mix.

Brokedown Palace
Stunning. Beautiful harmonies, strong pulse, Keith roars in like they know in advance what he brings. Show needs more love.

The Other One
Hard charging power here in 24 minutes of explosive dark matter. It's a massive oversight that this show hasn't been more widely appreciated.

Big Railroad Blues
Brass knuckled jammer with Keith jumping in hard on this kick ass bar room rocker. Bobby's and Keith's playing is money while Jer goes ripshit.

Happy with the new piano player - they just wanna be the greatest saloon band in the world.
