Laid-back show opener...cool points for the transition into unusual

Hofheinz Pavilion

Thunderous! Everybody on point. Fierce weir vocals, crunchy lesh, Jerry rippin', kieth and the drum boyz pounding away

Winterland Arena

Very nice...Not the greatest of all time, but an average Dew from '77 is great enough in itself

Rarely a song I like, but this one stands out to me, probably because of Brent and Jerry, in that order

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Truly fun. I tried explaining the irony of the Stayin' Alive tease to my Russian roommate, to no avail. The teases throughout really are spectacularly fun. No better word. This show is pretty unbelievable, by the way. A romp, indeed.

Nassau Coliseum
