Ramble On Rose

This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

The Music Box

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

The Other One
March 3, 1971
Fillmore West

Jerry's galloping right out of the gate, with a Gibson in hand. In March and April Jerry swapped the Strat for a Les Paul. This partially explains why this O1 sounds so unique. This was also the 2nd time they played this song since Mickey's departure. They where the original Warlocks again with 6 years of playing together, and it shows! Even Pig is making a strong contribution on organ. And Bobby's laying down strong rhythm support for Jerrys energetic and inventive lead lines. And of course, Billy was now free to lock in with Phil, who was feeling Jerry's every move. This O1, along with the 02-19 version, kind of set a template for the structure of this song, at least until Keith arrived 8 months later. This is a really good find, Mercury!

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Jerry's vocal is very strong on this one. Donna 's harmony is on pitch and lovely. And more importantly, Wolf is soaring throughout Jerry's solo, especially the outro!

Some very confident and strong vocals and playing by Jerry, with just the right backup by the boys, on this one! Just the right delivery of this song, in my book.

This is the Other One that I know and love. Energetic psychedelic magic, transitioning into an elegant Wharf Rat!

This a crisp and energetic version, sandwiched between two delightful Not fade aways. I love this post Mickey era!
