Beat it on Down The Line

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.

^^Agreed! Jerry was really giving that Travis Beam a work out.

This entire That's it for the other one is really good. Mickey goes a little gong crazy on the Cryptical reprise. It was the 60s, you can expect that
Turn On Your Love Light

^^Agreed! Pig was very interactive with the audience on this one. And probably pretty drunk!

Tight, kind of swinging, version. Bobby's rhythm work is especially good on this one.

Phil really dictates the direction of this DS. Every one locks in making for some very tight acompiament for Jerry' guitar journey. At one point Jerry and Bobby pull out an Alman Brothers style lead harmony. One of the top 69 versions, for sure.
