Beat it on Down The Line
March 12, 1966
Danish Center

This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

Wharf Rat

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Phil is really making his presence known on this version. Jerry's solo is kind of by the numbers, but solid. Worth a listen, for sure.
The Other One

Some nice guitar playing on this one. At one point in Jerry's solo, Bobby joins in with a lead harmony, then they transition into Stella, very nice.

Soldier Field

Grand and epic version. Not my favorite Wharf Rat, but very nicely executed.
The Other One
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

I agree completely. This is the Other One at a whole other level. What an intro, Jerry was getting some old school feed back, then it builds into a fast driving, late 80s style, psychedelic adventure. Brent is laying down some fast and tasty piano with synthesizer embelisments. This is a must listen for any The Other One afecianatos!

Autzen Stadium

I applaud the effort, but Jerry just wasn't feeling this one. Having said that, this song always touches me, so I hung in there for the duration.
