Lovely mid-tempo ensemble singing with Bobby, Donna, and Jerry audible (Keith too?). Great driving bass and piano.

New Potato Caboose

Avalon Ballroom

Starts with gongs and cymbals in the cosmic dust of an outrageous TOO>Cryptical, then gears up and goes supernova for over 20 minutes.

Me and Bobby McGee
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

My new favourite version, and I never choose "favourites". Passionate perfect Bobby, the band so tight, Jer's perfect harmony, Phil driving it all.

Sounds like Tom C. on a steam calliope. Any historians out there know what rig he was on here? Cool, pure 1970 sound here just giving birth to itself out of the crash landing of the sixties....

Jerry's vocal performance is clear and beautiful. Sweet, pure version.

Funny you'd say that hvd, I just made a similar comment about 10 June 1973: Opening with the Dew always means going in big.

Any show that OPENS with Morning Dew is going to be spectacular. Maybe that's too obvious to say, but damn they mean bizznezz from the start. A ripsnorting version from all sides.
