Here's where the bus came by for me. My first show...every note is burned into my brain!

Sick extended jaminess reminds us how much of a kick in the ass Hornsby gave Jerry

Bob really belts it out on this relatively early version. WAS THAT SOME KINDA JOKE?!? Awesome...Zimmy would be proud.

Mature Sugaree from an underrated NYE show. Jerry's voice is so expressive and Brent finally has his part dialed on the B3.

Turn On Your Love Light
May 24, 1969
Seminole Indian Village

This might seriously be the one, you guys. 29 minute opener to go with the 30 minute Lovelight they closed with the night before! Pig is in top form, and the boys are right with him. Plus that unexplainable 1969 energy and SOUND...Complete Road Trips indeed! This should be ranked "jus' a lil' bit HIGHER!!!"
Jack Straw

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Wow! That was...muscular. Phil and Jer doin' some FLEXIN'!!! The Roger Eichorn matrix on the archive is the tits.
Viola Lee Blues
April 12, 1970
Fillmore West

This one closes out the weekend @ Fillmore West with the Miles Davis Quintet opening. What I wouldn't give to have been there. Fully jammed out version.
