We need a Winterland version, don't we?

A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

Yes, it's criminal that this OO and basically the whole show doesn't get more love. The treat is Phil being high in the mix throughout. You must listen to the first set too -- it's terrific. Unfortunately, there's a patch in Cumberland and Big Boss Man has some rather prominent feedback. I haven't listened to the next night, but as we saw in 8/6, this month has many rewarding moments.

Lordy, this might be my new favorite. Just listen to what Jerry is doing!

Man, this one needs to be voted up. The Charlie Miller mix on this really lets Jerry, Phil, and Keith jump out at you. Well done all around.

Yes, if you listen to this one on headphones (preferably the Charlie Miller on the archive), you won't be disappointed. Somehow, though, Billy seems a little off. Still, this one should be rated higher.

Let my bass creep you out. An ominous blues. A long intro to build tension. This is when we said farewell to the 60's. At some point they said, "we can't do this one any more, it's just too grim to remember that day". But before that happened, there was this. This darkness got to give.
