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

IMO you can always tell the headiness of a show by how much love and care and attention goes into songs like Deal &This is one is right on point

Deal

Paramount Theatre

A GREAT show all over. Donna is in tune, The band are ALL on , high energy, Jerry's vocal flubbs and forgetting are the biggest let down. Still 4 1/2 star Deal

KEITH,KEITH,KEITH!!! The opener, Jerry forgets the words,shrugs and the band just plays. Keith is very much on fire tonight. the playing is very tight. If you can, give the whole show a whirl-great Scarlet>Fire amongst others, but Keith 's playing is very good and higher in the mix.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Should be much higher, as both songs brilliantly played. High energy, good vocals, smooth transition. By the Bye this is one hell of a show. Keith's playing is superb! see review of Casey Jones

Again Keith with that haunting, ethereal organ and jazz piano. Sharp vocals from Jerry rather than heartfelt. Beautiful tone from Bobby's guitar. Jerry's solo doesn't quite make it. 22/6;23/6/ and 28/6 all better IMO.
