Ramble On Rose

This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

The Music Box

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This is how Cina Cat should have been done. I think Jerry had Alligator for this one, and he was just tearing it up. Even with the Beach Boys looming off stage, they where at the top of their game here.

Phil's up in the mix, and really driving this one along. I agree with Crow, Bobby's solo is kind limp: mostly rhythm. Jerry however, tears this one up. He's playing Alligator on this one, I believe. I love the fender tone he's getting here. 71 seemed to be the year for some outstanding HtH's

Fillmore East

It's hard to pick a favorite version of this song from the 4/71 Fillmore east run. This is right up there, even though I prefer the night after. Bobby lays down a good solo on this one then Jerry picks it up and does some nice, thoughtful, guitar work on Eagle, or some other Alembic model.
