Comes A Time
Jerry voice reaches new highs in the second chorus
2
Loser
solid version here sung with pure Jerry soul...and heat on the solo
1
Big Railroad Blues
Check out Keith on this one! He's never been so up front before & right outta the gate!!
1
Playin' In The Band
They really push down on the 10/4 melodic form here, giving it a "The Main Ten" feel lost soon after. KG's 1st month is full of transition Playin's.
2
Tennessee Jed
Goddamned hard crunching rocker here. Jerry's guitar is so sharp it sounds like breaking glass (in a good way).
4
Ramble On Rose
Not my favorite song, but this one rocks. Plus Jerry eviscerates a heckler after.
2
Not Fade Away
Great interplay and hot jam in every combination in the birth month of the great quintet. Forgotten show.
2
Truckin'
Our boys give in to the heckler and rip out a classic Truckin' here. Great rock and roll here with a punchy, aggressive vibe and great soloing.
2
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
The transition jam back to NFA is one of the trippiest, dreamy, paintbrushes of sound ones I know.
2
Brown Eyed Women
Professional one here - Jerry in fine voice and KG all over it on the keys!
1
Sugar Magnolia
The heckling before the song deserves attention. Really a under appreciated show considering the nrps, DP 2, etc.
1
Beat it on Down The Line
Great one... lots o energy coming outta Bobby
1
Jack Straw
Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.
