"First set" guy here myself. I never did mind expanding drugs, and I've been to about 100 shows, so I always preferred the first sets, straight songs. Except for China-Rider...that always does it for me. I literally listen to 4 or 5 different versions of it every single day.
Also, Jack Straw....I've been listening to different versions of that since 1971 or so, and it still kicks me in the nuts.
I love Beat It On down The Line, and have taken great pleasure in predicting the number of opening beats whenever I used to hear it live.
Now, I never heard them do "Golden Road" live, but if you ever get the chance to see the "Zen Tricksters", there is a good chance you might hear it played in the old style. Also, Phil and Friends has been playing it lately.
I didn't check out your profile yet, but if you are anywhere near New York, it is worth an overnight trip or two to see the Tricksters.
Best wishes to you! :hi:
