Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Nice PITB sandwich here with seamless transitions,its interesting to hear Half steps develop from tour to tour and improve with age..The solos ,as mentioned,above ,are getting more stretched out as time goes by.Well worth hearing.1973 is an excellent vintage ;-) The PITB reprise is tops aswell.
The Wheel
Oct. 1, 1976
Market Square Arena

Nice fade in from the drumz solo- I just love the wheel intro- so trippy/dreamy..Donna also adds value to this one,its vocally strong..76 was a good vintage for this song.Neat little ditty follows that brings you to ship of fools-nice one.
