Kinda of a juke joint vibe - playing around with the arrangement a bit.

Sounds like they split some Lemons and woke up at 4:50 to jam the end into GDTRFB. Worth a spin for the laugh. Source:CM

No hurry jam - this one is not "lazy" but defo relaxed. Reflects the era well with Keith's key work.

Stagger Lee
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

Crack - I am always looking for a great Stagger Lee which is a tune that can be a winner or fail miserably. Sorry can't tag this one with a thumbs up - wanted too - maybe it's the recording but this pace kills me - I would like to hear what you think of 12/28/78 same vintage and I think a great quality take on this sketchy number.

My original description does not do this take justice - I would like to amend it to: Really Jerry? Really ???!!!

Welcome to the looney bin or the slaughterhouse...depending on how you look at things. I suggest headphones for full effect of this auditory windowpane. Jerry makes pass after pass at your head with his scythe. dark, dark, dark.

Hey Darkstar I listened to that Alligator again and yeah I think I faintly hear Mountain Jam too but more at the 7-10min mark - very Duanesque anyway...
