Ramble On Rose

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!

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!

Winterland Arena

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

Billy takes charge. After the first verse he lays down a rhythm that Phil locks into, then Keith, then Jerry starts down an adventurous path leading to some sonic magic. This is a very strong version, even by 72 standards.

Jerry really delivers the lyrics of this very moving song. I wish they had added the harmonies during the bridge that Bobby and Donna added later, then perfected by Brent and Bobby. But this is still an outstanding version.

Fillmore Auditorium

If you want to know why Pig Pen was so valuable to the band, listen to 66!
Cream Puff War

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium

This as good, or better then any version of this song that I've heard. Tight, energetic and you can hear everybody on this recording. Jerry tearing up that red Guild!

Student Center

Their on to Grad School. Contemplative, at first, then they jump into it. Jerry's giving that SG a work out. Then at about 12 minutes in, they soften it up, then go out strong.
