In a week of very good Deals, this one struts its stuff. Fine and full of fun, listen to Jerry shine.

You need the Sir Mick source on IA as some of the shows seem to be the night before. Muddy sound but a good version of the few times this song was pla

Dane County Coliseum

What a way to start the year! Loose Lucy's from Feb. '73 are just the thing to cheer up a dark and dismal month.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Another great 1973 version from another great 1973 show. I run out of superlatives sometimes and just stand/sit amazed listening to the quality- not just of an individual song or even a whole show, but weeks at a time with hardly a duff SONG let alone show. November 1973 is one of those months. I love TLEO from 1973 best of all I think. uptempo, extra lyrics, well sung. Oh Happy Daze
Deal

Sphinx Theatre

1978 Deal could be like that(see the Nashville Show!)
He's Gone
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

What's available of this show is 1 hour 36 minutes of 1972 magic. I can only wonder what the first set was like. A superb version of He's Gone. Agree with Carrion Crow-what's available is all really top quality.
