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.

I agree with all of the above, this is a very inspired version of D.S!

Keith is just a month in, Mickey is out. This is like a preview of the 1972 D.S sound. This should be up on the list!

Fillmore East

Just a month after their bust in New Orleans and the loss of T.C on keys, they where playing with focus and clarity. Varied and dynamic. This version works for me a little better then the 08-27-72 show, both really good renditions.

This version is worthy of a much higher place on the list. Billy sounds especially good and his drums are recorded well. Everyone is in good form on this one. I will listen to this one again, for sure.

Bellarmine College

This show should be in the top 10, in my opinion. It's the most inventive and interesting version of 1968, the year it was born. Bobby and Phil lock into Jerry as he explores a variety of riffs and motif's that exemplify the psychedelic era. Please vote for this one, It deserves to be listened to!
