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.

Strand Lyceum

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!

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

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.

This is a very early show for Keith, he was fitting in well already! Phil was the driving fource behind this one, though!

Golden Hall

This date doesn't show up on the archive. Is it a special release?

Lakeland Civic Center

This is a clean and well paced version. Bobby and Jerry's vocal exchange is just right. Jerry's solo is kind of laid back, but it does the job.

Shrine Auditorium

I could write about 2 paragraphs about this version, but I think that HOLY FUCK says it all!

The Music Box

This was a great, energetic show, as was the one on 04-15-69 in this same venue. A little psychedelic magic, in Omaha, Nebraska!
