I Need A Miracle

Centrum

The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Big Boss Man
April 9, 1988
Centrum

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

Sugar Magnolia
April 25, 1983
The Spectrum

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Spokane Coliseum

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Olympia Halle

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Mind Left Body Jam
June 8, 1992
Richfield Coliseum

The point being - it's not a Dear Prudence Jam and nothing should be mislabeled.
Drink Up and Go Home
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

It's OK - pretty much just a typical country tune. The mandolin is too loud in the mix, but Jerry's vocals are nice.
Don't Think Twice
July 2, 1986
Rubber Bowl - University of Akron

Frightening. Weren't they supposed to be working on Mack The Knife? I need to take a long, cold shower and forget this ever happened.
Bring Me My Shotgun
July 12, 1970
Fillmore East

It's kinda hard to hear everything, what with all those idiots clapping really loud, but it sounds like it would have been a good acoustic song to work in for Pigpen.
A Voice From On High
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

That's Bob asking about the next verse. Speaking of Bob, he doesn't have the voice to carry this one.
