Some of the choices are obvious, notably the Allman Brothers burning through a live performance of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" at the Warner Theater in Erie, and Blues Traveler's "Rag Mama Rag.
" And it's no surprise that My Morning Jacket nails "It Makes No Difference," or Jakob Dylan -- with help from Lizzie Wright -- captures the melancholy of "Whispering Pines.
