Feel Like A Stranger
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

As in most of this set, the playing is really hot and really fast. It’s not really a set for subtle communication and expressiveness, but it’s a great one for sweaty, slightly uncoordinated energy. I enjoyed it.
I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

*Joani, sheesh.
Jack Straw
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

*Serious* firepower, vocally as well as instrumentally. Check this out, folks.
Let It Grow
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Very exploratory in parts! I can’t think of many late-’70s versions that are this adventurous.
Estimated Prophet
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

Even by the standards of ’79, this is a *great* Estimated. Enjoy.
