Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Dec. 10, 1971
Fox Theatre
Half the fun of a GDTRFB is the segue into it, and this is one to grab ahold of and repeat dozens of times before your ears will let you move on. This one single minute of music captures so much that you can't put into words, you've just got to take the ride yourself. Don't let the babbling about the segue throw you - the song itself is absolutely amazing, too - it's high energy and fast paced from the start but after the lyrics, Keith and Jerry seem like they want to race each other to Nirvana, and it somehow gets even more frantic. Sometimes this song is jaw droppingly beautiful, sometimes it melts the paint on your walls - this one manages to do both.
