Capitol Theater

1st ever, slightly different lyrics, but an incredible delivery and freshness. Tricksters intro the country sound for NY heads expecting Alligator.

Inside this not great show is a beautiful short acoustic set, including this perfect beauty. Totally overlooked.

Sweet acoustic version. Bobby is spot on.

Absolutely pristine version with clear harmonies and beautiful emotive singing. Not a beloved show, but give this one a chance.

The Other One

Civic Auditorium

A blazing supernova of psychedelic force. Packs quite a wallop for only six and half short minutes.

Apparently Bear was recording this to be played back on mono, so the organ jam would be featured but not so explosive. Whodathunkit? In any case, this is just so fucking brilliant that I want to jump in my time machine and zip back just to be a spectral hallucination vibrating just out of the corner of Billy's eye as he kicks the shit out of this beautiful packed-with-energy annuciato: The Dead are Coming, Here Come the Dead.

Baby Bobby: Shimmy shimmy shake shake, baby baby baby! This is twisty rock and roller Baby Bobby stuff here. Consider for a moment that he was 18 years old at this point. Hot damn.

Listening to all of '66 and this feels like the very first fully realized one.

Fans of this song need to hear this! It's down to the bare bones, young, raw and full of passion.
