Jerry and Keith are just on fire behind the beautiful vocal duet. This show is underappreciated. Give it a spin....

Always preferred the fast ones, but listening to Jerry rip up the solos here and it makes sense. Killer version here (with a rude AUD patch though).

Has a crisp and tight disco shuffle prefiguring the '77 sound. Jerry's solo fills are precise and brilliant. Donna's harmonies are as sweet as ever.

Nice on its own, and brilliant as part of a great PITB-SS-Wheel-PITB sandwich. You can hear the fun their having. Short but sweet.

From Phil's opening swoops to Jerry's passion-vox, and pristine soloing, this is a killer stand alone SB. Surprised it's not here yet.

It's everything that's been said and more: I'd add that the group vocals are 100% on, and Pigpen is in beautiful form . This is one to come back to a couple of times in a row, study a bit closer, strap on some headphones, and whooooooooooeeeeeeeee.

As always, trust gdtrfb Era Evangelist. This one is outrageous, and the tighten up jam is without peer, and may be the most expansive and cogent one I know. In some other ideal sphere, the perfect SBD exists, but until then, thanks once again Mr. Weinberg.

The AUD is a C- but the performance is A+

First and only time played before '72, before the release of the record. Heavy emotion here. Does anyone know the date of his father's death, for whom the song was written? It's quite a sweet performance, in spite of the C- sound quality of the tape, and beyond the historical importance of the song's debut.

Possibly the best harp solo on this song ever. Pigpen tears into it like he's got you just where he wants you. Hard rock stuff this.
