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!

Black Peter
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

Just Jerry and Bobby on acoustic guitars. Jerry's vocals are haunting and beautiful. I love the acoustic versions of the songs that would become staples of their concerts for many years to come.
Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

a DS, Uncle John Jam sandwich, very unique for them. No vocal for the almost 2 minute jam, then into the 2nd verse of dark star. Not my favorite version but worthy of a higher rating.
I Know You Rider

Harpur College

Slowing this song down and doing it acoustically ads an intimacy that was lacking in the earlier rave up versions. Jerry is showing his early country influences on this one. A treasure for sure.
Black Peter
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

This version of Black Peter, along with their entire acoustic set, is really special. The singing is superb, just Jerry on this one, they nailed the harmonies on all of the other songs from this set. This was kind of a land-mark show, showcasing the songs that would be on Working Mans Dead and Amercan Beauty; goodbye psychedelic era, hello country and folk!
Dancin' in the Streets
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

This is probably one of my favorite versions of this song. Jerry really rocks this one out. This isn't my favorite GD cover, but this one really works for me.
