Poplar Creek Music Theater

The boys burn it up...Jerry's flying and Phil's bombing...transitions into a pretty funky Women are Smarter for the crowd to dance the intensity away

Keith and Billy really shine hear, and Phil is most excellent

Late 81 Early 82 was undoubtedly a hot time for the band, and it's nice that they brought this tune back with a different take

Cassidy

Auditorium Theatre

The '76 Cassidys are laid back for sure, but this one and the entire show lope like no other, and in the best possible way. Epic PeggyO, Mission, Jed, epic top-to-bottom
Friend of the Devil

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Ha whoops, I meant 10.25.1979
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Swing Auditorium

Your analysis may have merit...all I can say is that I love listening to this version...maybe it's the moodiness, or the Phil-heaviness, but whatever it is, it is awesome...there may be better versions, but this one is pretty great to my ears

...Listen to this and just TRY not to grin from ear to ear...especially the banter before it
