Providence Civic Center

Dicks Picks 12 version, standalone Eyes, Jerry and Phil's interplay is some of the best ever!!! Compact, concise, beefy, and melodic.

Truckin'
Dec. 2, 1973
Music Hall

Briliant version outta He's Gone, forsakes the all out bluesy, rockin' type of Truckin' for a snaky, bluesy, up-to-no-good sound.

Eyes Of The World

The drummers sort of go to sleep on this one, but Jer and Bruce keep the fires burnin!!! Jer's solos so fluid and fast and jazzy, with Hornsby's beautiful open latin chords...
