Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Great energy, solid precision, band sounds like they are in the moment and having fun. Very enjoyable China > Rider
Feel Like A Stranger

Giants Stadium

Deep, sultry groove to open the show, paired with a triumphant Franklins. Agree with comment above on thick Phil groove work
Doin' That Rag

Jerry falsetto and crunchy, bouncy bluesy jam. Heater!

Digging this bouncy version. Excellent ramp up for the close

Capitol Theater

This version is everything. Jerry's licks leading into the jam portion are indelibly etched into my brain. I have no shame in double commenting - this one is one of the absolute tops and deserves dap.
