Phil drives the first couple of verses, pushing hard against the band’s tempo. Slide Bobby.

poignant singing from Bobby, and the whole band pours it on during the solo break. Note the drummers especially. Top notch version.

Not Fade Away
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

so much nasty bluesy Pig-era swagger in these NFA jams
Stella Blue
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

the confident, patient space of some hushed ritual. They're playing whispers in a temple. Destructive.
Stella Blue
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

One of the most expressive versions I've heard. and the > in and out are stellar blues
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Hell yes! great set from a great run. Beginning of TOO drips in from space—threads and pounds its way into a great build back into the material—into an ethereal transition to Stella. Absolute must hear.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Another pounding version from this tour
