An MLB and Mojo jam hybrid. Already submitted as mojo by cgarces. Only 3 minutes, but worth the trip.

Eyes Of The World

This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

Sugaree
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

3 solos: good, better and the third one is nuts. 77 gets most of the attention on Sugaree and versions like this can get easily overlooked.
Deal
Aug. 27, 1983
Seattle Center Coliseum

Testify! A speedy, fluent outro eventually hits a great peak.
Sugaree
Oct. 16, 1977
Louisiana State U

The first solo is unreal, a slow burn to a thunderous conclusion. I put this one on the top of '77, which I can see is not the way most others rank it. It is nevertheless clearly on par with the spring '77 Sugarees which most would agree was a consistently excellent period for the song.
Not Fade Away
Oct. 3, 1976
Cobo Arena

The aud for this one might as well be a different song. The sounds that are most prevalent to the listener here evoke all the things to go with the feeling of being in the crowd and that sense is not there with the board. A good call, as usual.
Not Fade Away

Cobo Arena

Hampton must have been a great place to tape. I know you like that Jim Wise 5/1/81 AUD and I do too - it's a great tape. That is one example where the AUD is clearly better than the corresponding SBD. I'll dig deep into this Cobo AUD tomorrow.
