A very strange opening - it sounds like Jerry doesn't want to play it.

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

The whole second set is brilliant. Yes, it's short in length, but the songs are all played so well that it makes up for length. The Charlie Miller soundboard is excellent.
Black Peter

Milwaukee Auditorium

How this gem escaped our attention for so long, I don't know. I'm not really a Black Peter fan, but I think this is beautiful. One of the best I have ever heard.

It's always nice to hear Jerry rock out like this.
