Knickerbocker Arena

Not Knickerbocker Arena but Compton Terrace. Blazing version, huge passion and a rollicking vibe!

Baltimore Civic Center

Right in the sweet spot for nearly ten minutes. Just the ideal energy -- loping but not sagging, engaged, wry...transcendent.

Yeah this one's pretty special. An aching, burning energy like embers in a fire
Wharf Rat
Nov. 9, 1979
Memorial Auditorium

dark and mournful and cosmic. a must-listen
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

a jumpy, kicking rendition - for a song whose rep is pretty dicey, this version feels like a whole lot of potential - later versions don't "work" for me but this one sure does

Baltimore Civic Center

uptempo, rollicking, measured but free -- this is how this tune was meant to sound!
