Ramble On Rose

Easttown Theatre

This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

The Music Box

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

Winterland Arena

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Universal Amphitheatre

^^This a Wolf showcase! It sounds like a hyper-strat. With Jerry so high in the mix you can hear every nuance of his playing. Hearing the audience puts you right there. I compared this to the Miller transfer, which is perfectly mixed, of course, Bobbys just as high in the mix, as is everyone else. It sounds like a different version. It's apples and oranges, both versions are great and should be listend to. Good find!
The Other One

Bickershaw Festival

In honor of Billy's birthday. As Phil said in his book, Billy was like a young God on the Europe 72 tour, "at the top of his game". I fully agree. This O1, which Billy co-wrote,simply by providing the definitive drum beat for this song, is a musical journey that builds to a blistering level that the band hit only on occasional performances, which is really saying something. Listen for Billy every one!

Fillmore East (Late Show)

I've listened to this show quite a bit lately, and this song always stands out. TC's organ is high in the mix on this show, which is a really good addition. This song had been played for less then a month at this point, this version was hitting another level.
Mason's Children

Fillmore East (Late Show)

^^ I agree, this is a really good version from a really good show, both early and late. Songs from this show have been popping up on this sight a lot lately, for good reason.
Greatest Story Ever Told
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

^^I can't. Jerry's solo, on this song, at the Veneta show was kind of sloppy. I can't say that about too many of his solos during the strat years. On this version, he was in control of the effects and his playing was precise and nimble. The whole band was laying it down on this one. The Stanley Theater was slways a stellar venue for them.
