Jack A Roe

Knickerbocker Arena

Chugs along at a nice clip. It was included on Dozin' At the Knick, which I believe qualified it as heady.

Alpine Valley

1989 was a very good year for Birdsongs. This one deserves consideration along with 10/8/89 and 12/8/89.

Sing Me Back Home
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Don't know this for sure, but extra vocals were added to the Europe '72 release in the studio once they got back to the states. I don't think it's a matter of them removing her vocals so much as not including the sweetened tracks in order to present a more authentic live mix.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Feb. 4, 1978
Milwaukee Auditorium

Dick's Picks 18 version.

The El Paso Playin' sandwich is actually 11/21/73, which was release as one of the later volumes of the Road Trips series.
