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.

^^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

^^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.
