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!

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!

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

^ Agreed!

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This one is on you tube. I like seeing the band in action, it was pretty rare in those days. The camera mostly focuses on Jerry playing his strat, which is masterful. The other guys aren't fetured very much, and you don't see Keith at all. They do show way to much of the naked hippy on the light pole, though.

Labor Temple

T.C adds a lot to this tight energetic offering. I love the trippy Dews!
Ship of Fools
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Coming out of a stellar Comes a Time, they maintain the energy and precision as well as very high caliber Vocals. Donna sounds as good as she ever has on these two songs.
The Other One

Fillmore East (Late Show)

^ "Light-on-it's-feet" describes this version perfectly, Ernie. Crisp and confident and melodic. I love Jerry's Gibson tone during this era. This whole show, early and late, is really outstanding. This show will be the upcoming Dave's Picks 30. Lucky for us we can hear a perfectly good transfer on the archive source provided.
