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.

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!
