Nassau Coliseum

A charged version that starts off a triple-thread run for this massive second set.

Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Deal

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

Inspired.
The Other One
May 12, 1981
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

High octane here.. My only quibble is that Bobby is a little to eager to come in on the verses, cutting off what could have been longer and hotter jamming. Even worse, he botches the lyrics. But no matter, the boys are tight and locked-in here, and this version still crackles with energy.

Sweet.

Worthy.

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

For me, 1981 is the all-around best year for Althea, and this one does not disappoint!
