The boys collaborated more in the early years.

Actually alot of the lyrics were changed after
Barlow and Hunter penned them.

As to Bobby's number, he had less songs and equal
time on the mic if that calculation is clearer...

[ebick]

Is there any way to roll back the count on Lil' Red Roosters?!

Only if ya up the count on C.C. Rider

[High Peaks]

ya, Whenever they played rooster, i made a bathroom run!!

I think your right SS about less songs, equal mic time. We find the same thing in our band. It seems like there is a lot less songs to choose from for Lenny( our Bobby) to sing. Jerry songs seem much more plentiful. Gotta love Bobby's originals though. They are typically more interesting to play for me. A lot more technical. Jerry seemed to play straight melody a lot less on these(LL, LLR, Estimated) and played more modal structures.

C'mon,.. little red was great in the mid 80's. i love when the dogs begin to bark now and the hounds begin to howl. everyone barking and howlin'

in the early 80's everyone was making barn yard animal sounds through out the song, pretty fun and cool,.. i guess

[tigerstrat]

Rooster was at least a rare opportunity for Brent to steal the show with a monstrous B-3 solo. I remember an amzing one from Alpine 87... I dig the Uptown Th 8/19/80 version too.

[Dozin]

exactly

[Pete B.]

That's cool with me.
I know there were fans of those songs, but fwiw I totally went to shows to see Jerry rip the jams.
I don't find myself crusing Archive for many Brent B3 solos let alone CC Riders or LRR's (I do cruse quite a few LLR's though ), but that's just me, no worries.
Those straight blues tunes just didn't get to the Jerry magic I was/am really into.
Outside of a few jems like Tore Up and a few others, I never thought of "slow to moderate tempo, straight blues solos" as Jerrys schtick.
I totally enjoyed watching him (Jerry) play slide on a few tunes over the years, though. I think those were all JGB shows.

How many songs did Jerry play slide on with the GD?

How many songs did Jerry play slide on with the GD?

Now there's a question I don't believe has ever been asked.

Good one Pete

why do I believe i've seen jerry play slide during rooster?

[bucketorain]

didn't Jerry and Bob trade back and forth on the slide on a few songs...Walkin Blues..

Oh and everytime I heard Rooster I as well made way to the bathroom or sat down to pack...

[Chuckles]

Jerry was SUCH a tasty slide player. Faves are the intro to WRS and Passenger. Bobby played so much slide in his rhythm parts (check out the NORML Scar>Fire). Yeah, on LRR, if you timed it right, you could leave after Brent's B3 solo, pee, and come back in time for Jerry's slide solo - which ripped.

Anyone have an Archive reccomendation for Jerry playing slide on any WRS's or LLR's (slide guitar, not Pedal Steel)?
I know the original studio cuts were done on Pedal Steel.

Any Archive rec's for Jer playing slide guitar on any song? Been a while... I'd like to give his slide playing a listen.

[High Peaks]

I seem to remember Jerry doing some nice slide work on Row Jimmy.

Not a huge fan of either Jerry or Bob's slide playing. Jerry's pedal steel was nice, but when it comes to 6 string slide guitar, for me the pinnacle is Duane. After hearing him first, everyone else is trying to keep up!! Just my .02

[xero92]

Speaking of Duane and Jerry, if you don't know it already, check out New Years eve '73, the Allman's at Cow Palace. JG and Kreutzmann come out about a half hour into Les Bres that transforms into a sick Whipping Post jam, and they stick around for the rest of the night... fun stuff, give it a listen if you haven't already.

[High Peaks]

Is that 12/31/73 Allmans, or 12/31/72 Allmans?

[xero92]

12-31-73, I should have specified.
