Total badassery. This one bites down hard and has a little menace to it, as befits a song about murder.

Serious giddyup.

Greatest Story Ever Told

Boston Music Hall

Streaks across the sky like a comet. Choose the SBD version, you won't regret it. Bobby and Donny are totally on together.

Really needs a cleanup, or some miracle tapes to clear the sound on this little gem. They were on. Where's the rest of the SB?

Listen through the murky AUD and you'll find a powerhouse version that clearly blew the doors off. Crowd energy contributes to a great version.

The Same Thing
Nov. 19, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

Outrageous jam on this early gem. Pigpen's voice is perfect and the band goes bananas behind him.
Cream Puff War
Nov. 19, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

Starts a little rougher, but turns into a solid-fuel rocket and blasts off in a truly inspired jam.
Wharf Rat
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Y'all got me: This is magic. Just how dialled in do you have to be to meet lighting bolts with thunder? Go Phil go...
The Same Thing

Avalon Ballroom

Deep and dark. Wonderful, mysterious and powerful.
Midnight Hour
Sept. 16, 1966
Avalon Ballroom

This is probably the first recording of Pigpen-as-life-coach, rapping about just what to do and just how to do it.
