Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

Black Peter

The Spectrum

This is my favorite version
Shakedown Street
Oct. 25, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

This is one of the few songs that existed both in the Keith and the Brent era that has better versions in the Brent era. This version is the best in my books. Jerry sounded horrible in 85.
Row Jimmy
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

This has always been the low point of this show for me
El Paso
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

This is one of my favorite parts of this show. This El Paso is the best version I have heard post 1974, which really isn't a high bar, but Phil slays this version
