Promised Land
June 24, 1976
Tower Theatre

Keith was a brilliant rock & roll player. It's just that his best work was on songs like Johnny B. Goode, Promised Land, Run Rudolph and Mystery Train, but those aren't the songs that people go "Oh, wow, man - that blew my mind and changed my life!". He wasn't anywhere near as dynamic, creative and dominant as Bruce was, but he sure as hell could rock. Oh yeah, how could I almost forget how good he was on some of those GDTRFBs. Jerry would be tearing it up face paced and Keith would be like some mad scientist, almost matching him note for note, when nobody else in the band could sustain that tempo.

Try 7-8-95. I can't even get to the 3 minute mark and I'm done with it.

You can almost hear Jerry sigh and go - huh? You want me to play some more guitar? OK.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Keith provides the musical structure, playing lead piano. Jerry has a short but sweet solo. About a much as you can expect from less than three and a half minutes.

Wow - Jerry is on. Diminishing skills not showing here. Spry, perky and lively.
