Brilliant, among the finest Candyman's I have ever heard. Brent is such a powerful presence throughout. Jerry's voice is gravely but strong throughout

A great Bobby Love Light on Valentines day. A wonderful Bobby version thanks to Brent dominating the keys and passionate vocals.

Great Bobby Howls, growls, and screams. Wicked Brent throughout nailing the keys, thumping Phil and a nice driving drum beat, sprinkled on top w/ Jer

I actually have notebooks with notes on shows i have been going through the notebooks and transferring to the website and also have been listening to shows. feel free to check this out i find it hot, and exactly like i stated nice combo of bobby and donna and jerry rips the solo, I am new to the sight but not even close to a newbie when it comes to cataloging and detailing versions of songs i find hot. it was not my intention to piss anyone off but to get up some hot songs not on the board, i am not the first to do this as can be seen from the lists just the most recent. Have been listening and note taking for 27 years so i was a little giddy to get my choices out there that werent here yet. I am still gonna keep posting new shit (ill try to do it less frequent)but ill try to comment and expand on some of my comments on why i made some of my choices

Keith is pounding on the keys nicely as well a Godchaux showcase on this version. When they speed it u at the end they take it to insane speeds, wonderful and hot as can be, arguably one the best versions out there.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

silly hot and crazy long, brent dominates the scarlet at times, fire builds from to glorious peaks. nice juxtaposition from a quite and beautiful scarlet to a silly jammed out funky fire.
