Beat it on Down The Line

Danish Center

This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

This is another good late 1969 D.S. T.C was adding some nice touches on the organ. This isn't an extraordinary version but it's worth a listen.

Coming out of a very energetic Dark Star, this version may be a little raggedy, but it delivers the groove. I think this should be up on the list.

This is the drummers show case. Billy and Micky go to town on this one. Lots of energy by all. Jerry is playing with clarity and vigor throughout the song. This one should be higher on the list, for sure.

Yes, this is a good one. Jerry was playing with authority and with a great tone. Every one locked in on this one,

I could tell by the first few notes that Jerry played that there would be some outstanding guitar work to come, and there was. His tone and use of feed back was especially good on this one. T.C complements Jerry very well on this version. It's a good one!
