Jerry is screaming steal your face right off of your head.

Like a racehorse charging out of the gate, winning it wire to wire. I'm diggin' '82 more and more.

Paramount Theater

It's a Promised Land from 1972 - you should know what to expect. An uptempo rocker that's a nice listen.

Jerry's guitar soars on this one. Really good vocals, too.

Good, long instrumental break.
Truckin'

Madison Square Garden

The band rolls up their sleeves and this Truckin' is no-nonsense rock & roll to open an epic set. It rolls into an amazing China>Rider.

Yeah - I also like it how Jerry blows the windup and landing and they try it again and again. Nice to hear them rock in '77. Cool version.

Come off it. This song is supposed to boogie down and rock. It's not a freakin' light and airy soufflé.

Jerry hasn't worked all the lyrics into the song yet, but his vocals are clear. Brent's playing piano and it sounds really good. Rock & roll and a piano are a perfect match!!
