Big Railroad Blues

Ohio Theatre

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.

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.

Watch the video of this perfomance, taken by an audience member. The lighting makes Jerry look ghost like. It's beutiful, though.

This was the last song that Hunter and Garcia colaborated on. It is also one of their masterpieces. This is my favorite version. As memorium to Robert Hunter, I will only submit signifigant versions of the best Robert Hunter collaborations untill I have run through all of them. That's gonna take a while.

^^^^ Agreed, I listend to it. It was difficult to take it in, but beutiful. They are both gone now. We can only commemorate the wonderful songs that they created the best way that we can, by listening and sharing. I'm glad we have each other for support during this difficult time.
It Must Have Been The Roses

The Palladium

One of the best. Words and music by the great Robert Hunter R.I.P.
Loser

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This, lost, Loser is for anyone who truly appreciates this song, and for 1971 aficionados, DS67 and E5, for example. This one stands up to any other version, in my opinion, including Barton Hall and Albany -1990. Jerry took a "less is more" approach on his Strat solo, simple but perfect for this song. Bobby's rhythm is strong and audible. Keith is adding some tasty honkytonk piano, and he's mixed low enough to not cover up Bobby's guitar playing. This song, and the entire show, should be listened to, or revisited!
