Beat it on Down The Line

Danish Center

This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

Watch the video of this perfomance, taken by an audience member. The lighting makes Jerry look ghost like. It's beutiful, though.

This was the last song that Hunter and Garcia colaborated on. It is also one of their masterpieces. This is my favorite version. As memorium to Robert Hunter, I will only submit signifigant versions of the best Robert Hunter collaborations untill I have run through all of them. That's gonna take a while.

^^^^ Agreed, I listend to it. It was difficult to take it in, but beutiful. They are both gone now. We can only commemorate the wonderful songs that they created the best way that we can, by listening and sharing. I'm glad we have each other for support during this difficult time.

One of the best. Words and music by the great Robert Hunter R.I.P.

This, lost, Loser is for anyone who truly appreciates this song, and for 1971 aficionados, DS67 and E5, for example. This one stands up to any other version, in my opinion, including Barton Hall and Albany -1990. Jerry took a "less is more" approach on his Strat solo, simple but perfect for this song. Bobby's rhythm is strong and audible. Keith is adding some tasty honkytonk piano, and he's mixed low enough to not cover up Bobby's guitar playing. This song, and the entire show, should be listened to, or revisited!
