Peppy, quick and Brent organ solo that is fire. I like this one!

New Minglewood Blues

Capitol Theatre

Love these '70 & earlier Minglewoods. I love the way Bobby screams the lyrics. They sound like a punk/grunge garage band. Later versions too tame

Greek Theater

Super high energy version, complete with Jerry screams and Phil is all over this one. Surprised this one's not on here yet.

Take me away to Dreamland, Truckin from 5/26/72
The Other One
May 24, 1972
Strand Lyceum

One of the best, if not the best The Other One's from Europe '72. It has sounds I've never heard in any T.O.O., Dark Star of PITB, before. Really cool. Worth a close listen.
Good Lovin'

Aarhus University

One of the best Good Lovin’s I’ve ever heard. Pig is in fire and the band is tight, tight, TIGHT!
Brokedown Palace
April 11, 1972
Newcastle City Hall

Oh, wow. Jerry's vocals, perfect and heartfelt. Keith's teardrop-piano fills AND Pigpens organ, in the same song. Jerry's solo flowing out of his fingers like small, silent lightning bolts. How'd we get this lucky?
Dark Star
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I have to admit, this just might be the Granddaddy of them all. Just watched the live video. It's truly mind-expansive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JukZBGgv8I
