Hard to Handle
Oh Yeah!!
3
Sugar Magnolia
Actually one god-dammned hard rockin' blast-off: Uptempo and hardcore.
6
Not Fade Away
Smokin' NFA>GDTRFB>NFA, powerful and rhythmic, hard rockin' and one of the hottest NFA of 71'
2
Loser
From the opening little parlay, hooked.
4
Johnny B. Goode
skull and roses. Rock and roll Dead!
2
Bertha
A neighbor of the Skull & Roses version, it's got that early '71 band-of-5 bounce
2
King Bee
Real bluesy
5
The Other One
This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!
1
Truckin'
Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!
2
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
“Don’t wanna be beaten this old way…” Shorter, with just a single solo, but extremely powerful performance that could have been on Skull N Roses
