Ramble On Rose
Oct. 24, 1971
Easttown Theatre

This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

The Music Box

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Winterland Arena

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

Eyes Of The World

Paramount Theatre

Agreed Ernie. I think Jerry had just received the modified Wolf by then. The high end is mellower then the Travis Beam. Very nice version of this song!
The Other One
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Classic 72 psychedelia here. Jerry starts out with searing sustained notes that dictate the direction of this one. It gets out there but always reigned back in, by then they could feel each others every move. Billy sounds like two drummers, partially due to the channel seperation. Then they transition into Wharf Rat, the defineitive sonic contrast, in my book. Overall, this is is a ride well worth taking.
Mind Left Body Jam
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

I really can't see calling that an MLB jam. My mind didn't go anywhere!
Jack Straw
Jan. 15, 1979
Springfield Civic Center

I'm surprised that this isn't way up on the list. It's a very clean and energetic version. Very strong vocals on this one. Jerry's fingers are flying all over his guitar, possibly tiger. This is one of the later Keith shows, but he sounds good, as does everyone else. If you like Jack Straw, then you should listen to this one and vote it up!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

This is a very solid version, crisp and clear and just the right tempo. Brent is adding some very nice touches on electric piano. This is a good one for sure!
