Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

Not Fade Away

Ohio Theatre

So hot my stereo caught on fire playing this. Great drums and guitar. I hadn’t listened to this show in a while but it is smoking.

Back when I was young, this tape was one of my favorites.

I love these 1970 acoustic sets.
Cumberland Blues

Harpur College

Interesting about the non-transition. Still the best Cumberland. Candyman is too short and truncated to be the best on its own.

Listening to this now. 72 is a great year for this song. Don’t get me wrong, overall 77 is my favorite year, but some songs like this one were better in 72. Think Jack Straw. I would take a 72 Jack Straw any day. NFA I go to 77. I think Miss 1/2 Step on this night is as good as any from 77. Englishtown is my go to show and I still think this has it beat for 1/2 Step.
