The Other One
A brilliantly played O1 that has been tragically overlooked. The mix on this is spot on.

High Time
Haunting organ playing. Crystalline and psychedelic early version that feels very spacey. Great vocal delivery.

Next Time You See Me
Takes you right to Chicago. Jerry’s playing emulates the blues greats. Hard rocking version that reminds me of a Junior Wells cut. Highly recommend.

Dire Wolf
Nice early electric version. Always preferred this key for Dire Wolf compared to when they changed it in the later years. Just right. Nice version.

Turn On Your Love Light
This is The Dead at peak performance level. Cataclysmic version. Everyone is ON. Explorative and not a beat missed. Easily top 5 of 69.
