Beat it on Down The Line

Danish Center

This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

A crisp high energy version. Good harp by Pig, some really tasty Strat licks. I dig this one!

Thanks for recommending this one, Ernie! This whole show is on fire. The speed and persiason of this O1 is unreal! I knew this room well, and you could tell the boys dug it too. This show whold have blown a lot of Omaha heads minds!

A solo that's as tear provoking as the vocals. This is one of Donna's most beautiful vocal harmonies.

They really change gears coming out of W.T Bridge, thanks to Phil who's really driving this one long along with Billy. I love the Gibson tone Jerry was getting back then. I think the acoustics of that room really added to the overall sound of this show. I saw a lot of shows, in the 70s, at the Music Box, it was like an old gym, a fantastic place to see a show. I wish I could have seen that one, only 15 at the time, though. This is a good one
