Ramble On Rose

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!

This one starts out a little rough - Phil noodling - then it quickly turns into a well played and heart felt dew.

Crisp and bouncy version. Smooth and tasty Strat work by Jerry. Pig delivers the vocal as well as he ever did on this version. I don't know how this one went without any votes for so long, considering this was such a strong and popular show!

Good recommendation, Cliff Hanger! Jerry's guitar playing is particularly good on this one.

^ That's quite a commitment to get on this just to vote for just one song, I hope you'll vote for others. You're right though, this is an omg version of this song, for several reasons: Jerry's enthusiasm and vocal excellence and guitar playing, the vocal harmonies by Bobby and Brent, the energy level by the entire band, and fially the exuberant outro. This is on you tube. which you would think would help to garner more votes.
Turn On Your Love Light
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Rough start, then it comes out of the gate full blast. Phil and Billy are locked in driving this along. Jerry's strat plating is epic, as is Bobby's call and response work. I don't mind Pigs over-rapping, those guys knew how to make that work. This one is a cooker!
