Subtle power and perfect execution. The "retirement" shows are full of pure, clear playing.

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Relaxed (Hawaii, natch) vibe without a Pig rap, but the band sounds just outta sight and Pig is on. Good times here.

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Powerful vocals and a tight sound in front of what sounds like only 100 people.

You've never heard anything like this before. Out take from American Beauty era, mis-dated on Archive, but absolutely wonderful.

A+ goddamned good, keeps me bobbing and weaving. Hard throbbing, and into a killer TOO, too.

Auditorium Theatre

Sweet and delicate with beautiful orchestration towards the climax. Donna and Jerry sound glorious in the outro.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

They get a slow start and Jerry flubs the lyrics in the Scarlet, but he more than makes up for it by going for the deep dive in the Scarlet jam before transitioning towards the Fire. The Betty Board is sublime, like everyone here sez.

Not a year that I'm very familiar with. I came to this show for the Dire Wolf, but it was this Peggy-O and that brilliant solo that spun me around. Very nice indeed.

Happy to blow your mind Aush. I dig your avatar.
Samson and Delilah

Tower Theatre

Perfect description. Now I'm a big fan of the one-drummer era, but I'm a deadhead from the Brent years and there are songs that are just gonzo-delicious for Bill and Mickey together. This is definitely a hot version and worth more than the 2 votes it has here.
