Keith and Jerry are manic pinball flippers bouncing their solos off each other here. Fun set closer.

Smooth and satisfying, rouses the crowd right up too. What a sweet show this is.

Mama Tried

Tower Theatre
Fun, raucous, and rowdy, but full of tight ensemble jamming and a nice Bobby/Jerry balance, allowing you to hear Cowboy Bob's great backup work.

Jerry's voice is at his most elegant, showing some smoke. Keith is supremely intuitive and beautiful, the band goes higher and higher. Great version.

These early ones have such brilliant swagger, you can really hear the gospel power to them

Starts a little rougher, but turns into a solid-fuel rocket and blasts off in a truly inspired jam.

Y'all got me: This is magic. Just how dialled in do you have to be to meet lighting bolts with thunder? Go Phil go...

Deep and dark. Wonderful, mysterious and powerful.

This is probably the first recording of Pigpen-as-life-coach, rapping about just what to do and just how to do it.
Dancin' in the Streets
Sept. 16, 1966
Avalon Ballroom
This is one of the '66 gems that start to show just what they could do in an extended jam. It's only about six minutes, but goddamn, it covers a lot of ground. Can you imagine the completely baffled A&R men at this point with absolutely no idea how to package and re-sell them... and then the funny coffee kicks in and the '60s happen.
