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.

King Bee
Feb. 21, 1971
Capitol Theater

This was 3 days after Mickey left the band. One drummer and no keyboards, and Pig was in good form. The band lays down a thouugh groove then Pig comes in with some of his best harp playing. This is a must listen alert!
Easy Wind

Winnipeg Fairgrounds

50 years ago today. Pig was laying it down on this song. The harp solo was a little rough, but no one cared. The boys sounded pretty good during this short set!
New Minglewood Blues
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

^^ Right on, DS67. This is a classic Capital Theater show!
Playin' In The Band

^^ Good call on The Kingston trio. This is the earliest version, that I've heard. they where going through their Folk - Pop phase, I'm glad they got through that.
