Punchy with some heat. Pigs tone on the pipe organ(?) or electric piano makes this special too. Source:CM

Bob's slide work is CLEAN and on point and Jerry is in a frisky mood this night. Brent's B3 is hummin' - this version peels paint.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Civic Arena

Jer doing topnotch '71 ripshit work and Phil flexing his muscles all over this jawn. Only 2 votes for this is a MEGA drag. Maximum RockNRoll this evening.

Hey Urbano - I dig this one too and the Cryptical at this show is prolly my all time version of the extremely tall skyladder that Jer climbs. If you dig Phil check out the NFA>GDTRFB>LL with Phil bigfooting all over the place on 4/12/71.

First, I really like this MOFO of a Deal. Secondly, I like the idea of the newsletter and would contribute but...there are many more knowledgeable heads on this board then me. Still I know what I like and why I like it. Plus, you cracked me up with the 87-Brent death guy line....I'm in.

This burns hot with strong '78 medicine - l love when Jer rips power chords and then releases the speedy lines - this catches a fast gallop - excellent call! Hey Crack let me know what you think of 3/23/72 - which admittedly does not even resemble the style of this later one ...but as a song of a time and place tis a fav of mine. DEAL!!! ACK!!!!!!!!!

Crackstraw - I agree there's some sweet Bobby here but i don't hear so much Phil off the sbd. I think Jerry shows up in spades - you wanna hear a special Bird Song and China>Rider? check them out as well. But to your point this is a really "together" TMNS to my ears with no one taking completely over and it all coming together to my ears very,very,very well.
