This really nice early Candy Man. This one is after Truckin. The first two are sound checks, I think.

This is one of the better acoustic versions of this song. The sound quality isn't the best but the performance is spot on.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This is a tragically overlooked version. Bobby's guitar is loud and proud. Jerry's Strat playing was as clean and twangy as it got on this song.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

The forth live performance of these 2 songs put together. It starts out a little rough, then it evolves into a well paced and played China Rider.

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!
Comes A Time

War Memorial

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
