Beat it on Down The Line

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.

If you're in tears after listening to a version of this song, then you know it's a good one. This is a good one!

Great recommendation Cgarces! This song wasn't in my radar, but it's a good song. A buried treasure, for sure!

Jerry got wolf back on that very date, 9-28-77. I assume that he would have used it for that show. He did switch back to the Travis Beam off and on during 77. But your right, which ever guitar he was using did sound delightful!

Jerry took Wolf on a stellar sonic exploration on this one. The drummers really drive this version along as they transition into Space. Very nice!
