Let It Grow

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Liberated from the Horn Section, the boys let 'er rip. Standard fare until about 6:30, then Jer and Keith just explode into full immensity.

Up and jumping, fast and precise version in spite of a few sound quality problems.

Sound quality may prevent some from appreciating this show, but don't miss this one. Bobby gives it everything, everyone goes nuts behind him.

Sing Me Back Home

War Memorial

Forgotten or overlooked, but melts-in-your-mouth sweet. More of a triumphant blues than the gospel beauties from '72.

Attics of My Life

Sacrilege, possibly, but this song rarely lived up to its potential. Have you tried to sing three-part harmony at this pace? It's fucking hard, and the beautiful realization on the LP was rarely achieved live. That's probably why they dropped it so soon, too. That said, this is the one that nails it. This might be one of the best ever. Very sweet.

Notable for the outrageous fantasy swampjam New Orleans Bobby feature in the middle, instead of the later-in-the-evening Pigpen rap. Nevertheless, it's a tight and right showing of who and what was the immortal '70 sound. Good stuff.

Rarity doesn't even begin to describe it. This is the hogwild swamprock you never knew but always suspected. Imagine your neighborhood garageband with 10,000 loyal followers in a superdosed lovefest on a sweet summers's day's daze. A real treat.

The first songs in the show seemed a bit sluggish, but they really take off here. This song was so goddamned good in this era, and this one is a real corker.

Show opener, apparently. It starts off kinda sleepy like, then gets heavy, but right when it reaches critical mass, it seems like Jerry moves on to the final words. Still wonderful, of course, but I wouldn't put it up there as one of the best from the era.
