Franklin's Tower
Nice Half Step->Franklin's tower opener gets the crowd up and moving
6
Jack Straw
Nice hot ripping version to close the first set
5
Althea
All around great show and the Althea rips like the rest of murder's row from '80
3
Terrapin Station
Outstanding version. Check out that sweet little jam leading to drums at the end.
5
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Great opener along with the Franklin's. Jerry has some hot licks in this one.
2
Big River
A nice bouncy version with brent driving it. Bobs vocals are solid here too. There are so many great shows in this period that get passed over...
2
Bird Song
Bob does some interesting guitar on this. Don't pass this one by
2
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.
