Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Great dichotomy between Jerry and Duane's solos

Wang Dang Doodle

Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

They Love Each Other

Civic Center

Oh man, Jerry absolutely SHINES on this. So crisp and tight, bouncy and vibrant. Highly recommended

Up vote for sure. Jerry is out for blood....
Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)
Oct. 10, 1968
The Matrix

Donnie, a) awesome jam and thank you; b) welcome to the board; and c) is your handle picture from 'Manos: Hands of Fate' - if so, HUGE props. That movie is a tragic failure of catastrophic proportions and makes for one of my favorite MST3K episodes.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 26, 1980
Oakland Auditorium Arena

Wow, not a note wasted on this S>F! Tight, though exploratory, the Scarlet delivers everything one could hope for in a rollicking rendition, and the Fire pushes this one well over the top. Very choice. From my perspective, '80 and '76 are consistently the most overlooked years for the boys (though i am uncertain as to 'why'). Glad i stumbled on this - prop glynparson!
Cassidy

Oakland Auditorium Arena

Bordering on frantic energy. Urgent, densely wound, tizzy of a Cassidy
