Secret Keith brilliance + probably the 2nd best version, ever, behind 12/16/78. Yowza.

Love this show in almost all ways - 3rd FOTM + the absolute best GDTRFB!!! - except that this may be in the lowest of the 20’s, out of 27 played in the 70’s, unfortunately.

Great vocals throughout this show…

Indeed, Danny; both Nashville shows are fire. The December show is more jammin’, with the best Dr. Bob AUD ever + the last ever appearance of the second Bean. But they feelin’ it, in prep for another all-timer at Illinois State two days later. What a run. This is the height of the band, tippy-top of the mountain…

Energetic version from this magical + short fall SE run. Blows away the LBC version, so let’s just get that straight, Mainline.
