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.

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.

Veterans Auditorium

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!
