Kiel Auditorium

The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

Kiel Auditorium

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Looks Like Rain

Brent's clever accompaniment helps the ending jam levitate and glide.

This version has IT.
Bird Song

Deal
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Swing Auditorium

One of those performances where you can hear how much they loved this song and how fun it is to play and sing.
