Bo Diddley
This is an awesome version! Donna's first show, plus we got Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley and Jaimoe Johanson from the Allman Bros! Whew!
5
Not Fade Away
Dead + Allmans = Awesome. Phil is bass nasty on this one
10
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Popping with energy. Allmans infused awesomeness
3
Truckin'
Hot one in the style of Europe 72
4
The Other One
Hot version out of drums following a smoking 1972 Truckin'
2
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Gorgeous well rehearsed tight early performance of the evetual classic. Jerry and Bobby sound like they are having a blast.
3
He's Gone
A very tasty He's Gone serves as the meat of a tasty O1 sandwich. The jam into and out of He's gone are both sublime.
4
Cold Rain and Snow
Listen past the saturated AUD murk and behold a masterpiece. High energy, hitting the highlights and ending on a perfect feedback whine. Great show.
3
Black Throated Wind
AUD-only supernova, not for the SBD-only folks. The band is so tight, the arc or the song just exactly perfect.
6
Playin' In The Band
All the inferno-intensity of the great '72s (yeah, those ones) condensced to 14min. Only reason not here is the B- AUD quality. Don't miss it!
2
Deal
Massive enthusiasm, Jerry sings himself hoarse. Brilliant, in spite of poor AUD quality.
2
Stella Blue
2nd one ever, and it seems like they're still getting it together. Nicely stripped down and clear vocals. Historically interesting.
3
Ramble On Rose
KEITH is on F#C&ING FIRE!!!!
1
Mexicali Blues
Cooking!
2
Cumberland Blues
Jerry's in primal Viola Lee mode more than per country twang.
3
Johnny B. Goode
Hard rockin' version with the Allmans sitting in. Heavy bass riffs courtesy of Brother B.O.
2
Sugar Magnolia
Especially the way the peak jam returns at the end of the Sunshine Daydream
