Clear lines and great tone all 6 string work from Jerry this night. It flows nicely not crazy but really finely crafted work.

These always start as a slow burn - at the 4:15 mark Jer takes off to the races>then to cool down >to ripping boogie down close.

Nice and loose with strong dank factor.

Cold Rain was always my preferred opener (besides Shakedown) as well. Check the Lusk 4/18/71 for another slow take that's pretty interesting.

Too bad you left! and yes it is the GREAT State of Maine :) - I saw these guys in PA, CO, CA (where I've lived) and many places in between but never made it back in the day to a show in Maine where they pulled off some memorable gigs. This 3 night stand was big for me in my hometown after 2 yrs of going to the Spectrum. Ps thanks for the compliment - try to keep it interesting hahaha and always check the Miller!
