Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

^ Agreed!
Bird Song

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This one is on you tube. I like seeing the band in action, it was pretty rare in those days. The camera mostly focuses on Jerry playing his strat, which is masterful. The other guys aren't fetured very much, and you don't see Keith at all. They do show way to much of the naked hippy on the light pole, though.

T.C adds a lot to this tight energetic offering. I love the trippy Dews!
Ship of Fools

War Memorial

Coming out of a stellar Comes a Time, they maintain the energy and precision as well as very high caliber Vocals. Donna sounds as good as she ever has on these two songs.
The Other One

Fillmore East (Late Show)

^ "Light-on-it's-feet" describes this version perfectly, Ernie. Crisp and confident and melodic. I love Jerry's Gibson tone during this era. This whole show, early and late, is really outstanding. This show will be the upcoming Dave's Picks 30. Lucky for us we can hear a perfectly good transfer on the archive source provided.
