Me and My Uncle

Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

Playin' In The Band

Mine too. I'd go so far as to say f the comparisons– good is good, and the band wasn't trying to recreate their earlier sound, but create a new one each time. There's some stellar interplay here, and the recording quality is fantastic. Also the ending section and transition into "Drums" is quite lovely.

I've added mine. Nice contributions from Brent.

Both Brent and Jerry throw down some great solos here. Seriously good version!
