Wedged in a energetic psychdelic explosion,this Merle Haggard classic provides a contrast in mood and direction. Jerry's twanging it up!

Mystery Dew! I don't think this was played during this show. Listen on the Glassberg/Miller on the archive.

If you like this song. even a little bit, you have to listen to this version! For my money this is as good as this song gets!

A crisp, cooking Allligator that was somehow missed. It transitions into Drums, then a t 11, tease, jam then the 11.

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.

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

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!
