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!

Winterland Arena

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

This is the epidemy of the early psychedelic rock sound. I love the tone that Jerry was getting back then. Much like the other San Francisco band like the Airplane and Big Brother where getting. They must have been using Twin reverb amps back then. I was 13 years old at the time of this concert, that sound really resonates with me.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

The Fillmore East shows always seemed to have a special energy to them. This is a good example. No keys, so Bobby is up in the mix. Every one sounded good.

This version moves along very well partially driven by Bobby, who's guitar you can actually hear. At about 15 min, Jerry changes gears and starts a smoking jam. every one is on the same page on this one.

Nice early 69 version. Both Bobby and TC are audible on this one. Jerry is in good form as are the drummers. Phil is hard to hear, at least on the recording that I heard.

I think this is 47 minutes well spent. It seamlessly travels through a variety of sounds and moods, contemplative, jazzy, uplifting and scary. Billy even takes a drum solo 13 minutes in, and it works to change the direction. This is a show that would have been best experienced live; lucky Dutch hippies.
