Wedged in a energetic psychdelic explosion,this Merle Haggard classic provides a contrast in mood and direction. Jerry's twanging it up!

Mystery Dew! I don't think this was played during this show. Listen on the Glassberg/Miller on the archive.

If you like this song. even a little bit, you have to listen to this version! For my money this is as good as this song gets!

A crisp, cooking Allligator that was somehow missed. It transitions into Drums, then a t 11, tease, jam then the 11.

Candyman

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.

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.

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.

Music Hall

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