Big Railroad Blues

Ohio Theatre

Just about as good as this song ever got. Just the right tempo and mix. Keith was adding some delightful honkytonk piano, and he was just a month in!

Perfect tempo and playing on this 71 version from a really good halloween show.

An energetic, well mixed 71Bertha that's been missed somehow. Keth had been in the band for only a month but already fitting in very well.

Strand Lyceum

An almost forgotten Jed! This is well played and well recorded. Pig even plays organ on this one. Suprising ommision from such a stellar show!

Turn On Your Love Light

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

The drummers are fired up on this one. Even T.Cs joining in on this energetic version. This gets an Allman Brothers flavor at times.

Capitol Theater

This song is from what seems to be kind of an over looked show. The sound quality isn't the best, but the playing and singing is.
Friend of the Devil
Nov. 6, 1970
Capitol Theater

Robert Hunter said this song is as close to being a classic as any song that he and Jerry wrote. I think it made it, as did quite a few others. This is an underappreciated acoustic version from the fantastic Capitol theater.

^^ I just re-listened to this one. I don't know what I was talking about. Jerry takes an inventive solo on this version. I guess you have to listen with fresh ears sometimes. Some votes for this song are wasted because a faulty submission problem on this site. It should be voted up, for sure!
