Shakedown Street
Sept. 26, 1981
Buffalo Auditorium

There are those shows that you can tell the boys came out to rock from the moment they stepped on stage. One of the indicators is there would be almost no tuning up and then BAM! This sounds like one of those types of shows. This Shakedown has a very grungy beginning and then proceeds to rock out all the way through.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Give me fall and winter '81 all day long. The band was tiiight and consistent with it during this period. I like the spacey pre-drums jam this Eyes melts into.

What a great, great opener. Phil lays it all out as he did all that summer.

Paced like an early 70"s version. To these ears, just exactly perfect. Ok, maybe a tick fast, but excellent.

Love this first set full of heady's. Thoughtful emotive solo in this one..
