Uptown Theatre

Unique section after the gospel singing. Great transition to TOO

Touch of Grey

Capital Centre

The debut, as an encore - raw, lyrics askew, fun times

The Music Never Stopped

The Summit

A speedy rendition on a single extant AUD from what is IMO the golden age of TMNS. Good for 77-Feb79, but compares favorably to any MNS thereafter.

Cumberland Blues

Greek Theater

This one cooks. It’s the third one since 74, but it’s all so fluid.

Mind Left Body Jam
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

The transition between NFA and Stella is about a minute of MLB. Not the best, but a unique transition and tease for 1979.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

This one comes after a series of rock numbers and brings the show down to its own speed.
New Orleans
June 21, 1984
Kingswood Music Theater

I loved this short one. Bob really goes after it and you are right, the groove is infectious right from the start.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 27, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I can't find a CM source for this one cucamonga. I've been listening to the darst sbd which has two patches during the rio grandeo section that are a bit of a letdown. But the solos during the halfstep portion - particularly the first one - are played much harder than say any of the '77s. The first solo is something else.
Franklin's Tower

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

This is my version right now. Crisp and clear, but loud and almost violent at times.
Not Fade Away
Oct. 6, 1977
Activity Center. Arizona State U

This probably should be one of the top versions of this song on here, but it's kind of hidden away by the weird transmission problem that Grendel is talking about. It's a nice find.
