Never heard this! Funky soundcheck version with Jerry singing lead.

Good stuff, almost wonder if it would have been better as a Jerry tune. Love Big River as it is but Jerry's voice just does it right. Thanks for the find.

what's more remarkable than jerry singing (to me) on this is weir's rhythm picking

an interesting novelty listen indeed

Enjoyed that.  Jerry really liked singing that "Blues on down the gulf" line and would continue to do so even after he gave Bob the lead.

I like the slower tempo.

 

For Jerry.

 

 

 

Don't tell Bobby I said so.

That was very good. Then again, it was 1972, and in '72 they could have thrown a bag of rocks down a flight of stairs and it would have been very good.

Still, a cool variation, with a bit of the JGB Lay Down Sally feel.

Damn, those guys were good in those days.
