Kicks off a the second set with a jam that creeps up on you and is suddenly shredding. Cool opener in an under-the-radar show.

New Minglewood Blues

Orpheum Theater

Comes storming out the gate after 5 years on the shelf. The Devils drive this one, but everyone is on, up, and jumping.

Smooth highway. Bobby and Donna in sweet harmony, and with that whiff of grace that marks the best versions of Cassidy out there.

Good times for all on this sweet set closer, coming out of a killer TMNS.

Beautiful a capella outro here and check out Bobby's polyrythmic harmolodism during the last solo section for a treat.

Absolute face melter. Kicks off an absolute dream sequence in the 2nd set.

Keith is woodshedding throughout this. Gives us a master blaster class of razzle and dazzle during the whole number. He's got ten fingers on each hand if he's got one!
Its All Over Now

Teases "Blackbird" in the noodling after, which is honestly my favorite part of this version. Not to disrespect the song, but it didn't move me. This JGB with Bobby doing an acoustic Blackbird sure did, however, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMsS-fIhWuk
Me and My Uncle

Not only is this the first version since 17.06.1975 (not since 1974 as said here), but this may be the very first pure disco beat they played in concert. Disco-dead might not be everybody's favourite cuppa, but it certainly did happen.... Enjoy it you cardboard cowboys!!!
One More Saturday Night

The Omni

Don't be a heal and head for the exits just yet, trying to get to the parking lot first. They've got one more in them....
