More and more I'm convinced that the earliest Samsons are the best. So confident, so full of strut and swagger. Any other era with such consist force?

Keith and Jerry are manic pinball flippers bouncing their solos off each other here. Fun set closer.

Smooth and satisfying, rouses the crowd right up too. What a sweet show this is.

Mama Tried

Fun, raucous, and rowdy, but full of tight ensemble jamming and a nice Bobby/Jerry balance, allowing you to hear Cowboy Bob's great backup work.

Jerry's voice is at his most elegant, showing some smoke. Keith is supremely intuitive and beautiful, the band goes higher and higher. Great version.

Beat it on Down The Line

Baby Bobby: Shimmy shimmy shake shake, baby baby baby! This is twisty rock and roller Baby Bobby stuff here. Consider for a moment that he was 18 years old at this point. Hot damn.

Brilliant rarity.

Listening to all of '66 and this feels like the very first fully realized one.

Fans of this song need to hear this! It's down to the bare bones, young, raw and full of passion.
I Know You Rider

You'd almost call this a Phil song at this point in the early history of the band. So cool to hear it in its infancy.
