A subtle beauty. Just a bit of swagger, just a bit of grit, lots of fine singing, and an acqueous solo for the ages.

Scorchin' hot barnburner here. The Rhythm Devils push this one ever hotter. Bobby and Donna sound perfect together.

Superb version, surprising not listed yet. Tighter to my ears than the other more well-known ones in the Boston run. Check it out!

MORE COWBELL! (And some very tight, blistering rock, sweet ensemble vocals, and good times for everyone after a great great show.)

Ballsy strut. Donna and Bobby are perfectly in sync, the mix is great, and Jerry's on fire. Check out the Miller cleanup.

Big Railroad Blues

The levels on my copy are all way up in the red, the sound over-saturated and distorting, and I looooooove it. Slamming along at full locomotive power and just killing it.

Would nominate this as a good "entry-level" version for someone who likes old rock and roll, but isn't tuned into live Dead yet. Strong, solid, grooving pulse. Would also nominate this as a sweet-assed groove to dance nice and slow to with your lover. Just sayin'.

Bobby introduces with "We're going to do a Hugo Winterhalter song now", which is pretty Prankster when you think about it.

Jerry just can't stop here, and pulls them back from ending it not once, but twice, to great comic and great rock'n'roll effect. Loose as all hell, but he can play that guitar just like ringing a bell! Hell of a show opener.

Jerry sounds like champagne bubbles throughout. It's like he's got fifteen extra fingers.
