Startled not to find this here. Def. best of Palladium run, and can stand toe to toe with the rest of the month.

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

State Fairgrounds Coliseum

One of the most expressive versions I've heard. and the > in and out are stellar blues

Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Another pounding version from this tour
