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.

Jerry's voice isn't in the beat condition here, but he was singing with confidence and passion.
Samson and Delilah

Melkweg

Good energetic version from a European tour that doesn't get nearly as much attention as 72. This one is well worth a listen!

Community Theatre

Good 68 version & a tight T11. To bad they only played 3 songs & almost a half an hour of Drums.

^^ This is a very good version. Jerry's vocals and guitar playing are strong. Good vocal harmonies too. Brent's organ work is very nice on this one.

Fillmore West

^^ Controlled chaos, just what you would want at a 69 Fillmore show!
