Better Jerry solo than the other '77s, but same aesthetic otherwise.

Eyes Of The World

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

Not too speedy, well jammed and ends with a one of kind improv between Bobby, Brent and the drummers.

The solos in Lady with a Fan are fucking beautiful.

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

Delicate, sweet playing in the midsection and a good outro. The linked source is not great, but there is a SBD.

Thunderous climax. The last two minutes of the song are tight.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Best new Supplication I've heard in a while. I went straight back to it - did I just hear that?

I saw that darkstar67. Who else? Apparently the local residents pronounce it Bill - ricka. I bet this would've been a great time.

This is really beautiful - all of the rio grandeo stuff. I heard this a while ago and forgot all about it until I saw it come up here last week. I finally listened to the SBD yesterday, but I saw that darkstar67 liked something that Charlie Miller had worked on and there was Bob Wagner's FOB. It's better to my ears than the SBD. (Just like that Jim Wise AUD from 5/1/81). When you hear the crowd react to Jerry, it isn't intrusive - the whole rio grandeo section crackles with the energy of a late Summer show opening up. It's perfect for this time of year.
Got My Mojo Working
April 4, 1985
Civic Center

I heard it. A little mojo flavored wink starts around 7:30, but what will be identifiable are some chords Bobby strikes right around 7:45. They're mojoish, but probably not enough to call this a mojo. The GDTRFB is a little too fast for me, and kind of typical of an area in which this era tended to go off the rails, but I love this jam that follows. I'd be interested to hear what others think.

This wharf rat needs some help.
