Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
May 30, 1980
Milwaukee Auditorium

The second instrumental break, Jerry goes nutzoid, cranking it up higher and higher. A must hear version.

Jefferson Civic Center Coliseum

It's almost as if they knew this would be the last time they played it and they went all out, given it was 1995. Bob's vocals are strong and Vince shines. It's worth a listen.

Jerry and Brent are sounding good and lead the way through the instrumental breaks.

Madison Square Garden

Jerry's guitar solo is laid back and mellow. When it's Brent's turn, he eventually ups the tempo with a nice solo.

The Spectrum

Bob's voice is shot and that takes a lot away from this. Also, it's rather sluggish. The instrumental break, Vince steps on Bruce's work and Jerry needs to be bailed out. His diminishing skills show on this one.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

There's some really good action on the keys during the final instrumental break, with Jerry taking over to close that part out. For a while there, you'll think it's Brent playing.
