You guys need to check out Bertha from 2-5-78 uni dome coliseum, cedar falls, Iowa

You'd think after all these years she'd get the message and not come around here anymore.

@MrRonnieG This was on Skull and Roses, which came out in '71
-
working mans dead album. I think thats it.

@MrRonnieG the recordings you are looking for are on archive.org. I assume you are familiar with the site, but I would give a try listening to any highly-downloaded recordings for the songs you want to hear. There are some real treasures that never made it to vinyl/cd. Many times the comments will say things like "phil is dropping bombs in this recording" or "this is a phil recording". Those are the shows you want!

It takes a driving, pounding, kickass BASS to really bring out the best in "Bertha" and, unfortunately, it's hard to find that on any of the YouTube posts. I remember, back in the early 70's, having (I think) a double album that just had a shit kicking "Bertha" with a bass that would rattle your underwear to your knees by the end of the performance. Someone help me here, which recording am I looking for???????????????

I saw them in the 80s-90s. Almost the same.

@MrGrevy Thought I'd help out a fellow /b/ bro. Though I must say your skills need a little work...



probably my favorite version. Live Dead is always better than studio Dead.
