Wedged in a energetic psychdelic explosion,this Merle Haggard classic provides a contrast in mood and direction. Jerry's twanging it up!

Mystery Dew! I don't think this was played during this show. Listen on the Glassberg/Miller on the archive.

If you like this song. even a little bit, you have to listen to this version! For my money this is as good as this song gets!

A crisp, cooking Allligator that was somehow missed. It transitions into Drums, then a t 11, tease, jam then the 11.

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
