This is an early stripped down version. There's no extended jam, or Donna screaming, just the basic song, deliverd well!

Single kit opening, Phil comes in changing the bass line then transitions into a tasty, energetic Not Fade Away on a Goin Down the Road sandwich.

Truckin'
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

First song of the first show of Micky's hiatus from the band. Billy more then makes up for his absense, providing a hard, rolicking, steady beat.

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!

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!

^^ 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.
