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.

Tennessee Jed

Strand Lyceum

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.

Candyman
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

This is a call to all Candyman lovers, listen and vote for this version. The vocals, are just outstanding. Jerry's effect driven solo is perfect for this rendition. The mix is just right on this one. This whole show is great, in the land of the midnight sun.
Loser
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

At the end of Jerry's solo the crowd went crazy, for good reason. This was a special Loser, for shure. Jerry's voice was strong and athritative. Listen and vote loser fans.
Candyman
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Jerry really attacks that solo. His vocals really deliver this song, and the harmonies by Bobby and Donna are stellar. The absence of piano with just a hint of organ make Bobby's guitar stand out more. This may be the definitive version.
Wharf Rat

Music Hall

This one of the most truthful and energetic versions that I've heard.
Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

This another 77 gem, for sure.
