Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

This requires headphones and a taste for the old tapes days - if you got that you're in for a pounding.

Civic Arena

Jerry throwing down the distorted country skronk with Bobby delivering the sweet vox. Cut at the end does not distract from fine delivery of 99%.

Pretty Peggy O

Jai-Alai Fronton

I truly believe this one is worthy of a listen and a vote -the syncopated (?) style of march is really cool and yup I promise if you are a Peggy-O fan this one will not disappoint you. This one might be a smidge faster (Hey Miami!) than others but it's really full of wonderful musicianship by all players if you listen closely. There also more alot of tasty nuggets at this show to explore too. Sbd.

Just to be clear this version reminds any listener why the band wanted Donna singing and oh yeah her piana’ playin husband too.
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Meadowlands Arena

This one is pretty and polished - for an early banger with Bobby straightup imitating Dylan check out 4/7/88 - loose and hairy but tons’o’fun.

Hampton Coliseum

Just saw a video clip and the part where the crowd goes banannas in the outro was prompted by Jerry mimicking Bobby’s 2step and strum style - if ya know it ya know it - funny and awesome.
