Big Railroad Blues

Ohio Theatre

Just about as good as this song ever got. Just the right tempo and mix. Keith was adding some delightful honkytonk piano, and he was just a month in!

Perfect tempo and playing on this 71 version from a really good halloween show.

An energetic, well mixed 71Bertha that's been missed somehow. Keth had been in the band for only a month but already fitting in very well.

An almost forgotten Jed! This is well played and well recorded. Pig even plays organ on this one. Suprising ommision from such a stellar show!

The drummers are fired up on this one. Even T.Cs joining in on this energetic version. This gets an Allman Brothers flavor at times.

^^Agreed. Extra energy on this one. Jerry approched his solo with verasity and Phil was really driving this one along.

If you are an 11 aficionado and you don't put this one in your top 5, then you are clearly not high enough!

Lakeland Civic Center

May of 1977 Jerry and his T.B became one. This solo is a prime example of that.
