Keys can come off loud on the recording. Fun crowd reactions. Bobby is engaged and on fire. Strong performance from the band.

Morning Dew
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Always a great listen. Enjoyed going back to this and treating myself.. Honestly.. I tried. Not that you need to or should.. And yes their are other gems out their! I mean some serious gems all over and in different ears and parts of the tour in said eras. Morning Dew gems! But. - This Morning Dew is just near perfect in almost every single way and ahead of any other morning dew imo. I wish I had words to truly describe how masterly crafted this. It does deserve it. Best Morning Dew. - So many great ones, and maybe other ones that tailor to your personal a-liking more or what your after for the moment in time or period in time . . But, sincerely, objectively and non bias, best Morning Dew of all time. Yes, it does deserve the hype.

Again, great show overall. This version is crisp clean and high tempo. Great energy. Hot enough to warm November. Give it a shot!

An amazing show, great tempo and really fun. This Hi-Heel is flowing and bouncy and energizing. Great showing from the band.
Shakedown Street

Deserves more attention. A great '84 shakedown. Strong throughout/consistent. Organized and focused on jams and no let down on the funk! I say it again awesome shakedown. Give it a listen! Up Vote!
Truckin'

Field House - Seneca College

Consistently engaged and strong not wasting a single second . The solo is absolutely shredding and breath stopping.Shreds with focus. Shorter Truckin' but near flawless
