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!

Turn On Your Love Light

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.

The Other One

^^Agreed! Jerry was really giving that Travis Beam a work out.

This entire That's it for the other one is really good. Mickey goes a little gong crazy on the Cryptical reprise. It was the 60s, you can expect that
Turn On Your Love Light

Winterland Arena

^^Agreed! Pig was very interactive with the audience on this one. And probably pretty drunk!

Winterland Arena

Tight, kind of swinging, version. Bobby's rhythm work is especially good on this one.

Phil really dictates the direction of this DS. Every one locks in making for some very tight acompiament for Jerry' guitar journey. At one point Jerry and Bobby pull out an Alman Brothers style lead harmony. One of the top 69 versions, for sure.
