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.

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.

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
