Glorious harmonies, tight ensemble playing, and warm, emotive vocals from Jerry. Great version.

Good Lovin'

Dane County Coliseum

Kicks off one of the great 2nd sets of all time - surprised it isn't here. Donna and Jerry belting out the backing vocals is special.

Space

Fillmore West

FEEDBACK - not Space proper, but the only place for this symphony of noise closing out one of the best 2nd sets of all time.

The Other One

Winterland Arena

Am I taking crazy pills, but it's not here yet? It's mostly jam, only the first verse, and wildly emotional - could have been the last one ever, too.

Don't miss this treat by selecting only the famous May shows! Bobby/Donna are in rare perfection here. Perfect harmonies and sweet vox.

Eyes Of The World
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Sparkling, effervescent, crystal clear and overflowing with inspiration. This one soars on wings a mile long, lifts off like sparkling light dancing on the ripples on the calm, powerful, and open sea. Certainly it's one of the great beauties. Cool comments Heads: I like "This is why and how" - Thanks Wookie.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

They stretch this out and really take off in the FGJ, like a chemical reaction slowly churning up, then building to a bubbling musical overflow.
El Paso
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

The honkytonk first set is perfected here. Jerry is possessed, galloping 100 mph behind, around, above, and in-between Bobby's flawless delivery. El Paso never gets enough love... but you can tell they're just having a blast here.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Follows straight out of a very western-swinging Deal and holds onto the desperado theme. Some folks find this show to be a bit too mellow, a bit slower tempo for an era filled with electrifying whirligigs, but this Mexicali shows how well they could sync together at any speed, at any energy level during this peak era.
