They Love Each Other

Riverfront Arena

Groovy, and some REAL nice solos by both Jerry and Keith. This one's got a little edge to it too.

The Sportatorium

'78 was a good year for this song. Lyrical slip-ups aside, the soloing and jaunty pace of this one make it a gem of the first set.

Downs of Santa Fe

One of a hundred high-energy versions of the early 80's, but hot nonetheless. Part of a thunderous Bobby-centric second set.

Good Lovin'

Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Part of a one-two-punch opener, paired with a heater of a Bertha. Keith adds great texture to Jerry's solo.

Jerry's got that wah going the whole song. Some may not like it, but I LOVE the psychedelic edge it brings to this version.

FANTASTIC! How this one doesn't have more votes is beyond me.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

What's even odder is that this excellent version wasn't even listed on this site when the show was announced as an official release. I couldn't believe no one had submitted it before I did!

A bot??? Really? Never thought I’d live to see the day that Heady Version would have that problem. But…here we are, I guess.

…imagine getting THIS upset at other people liking a version that you don’t like. C’mon, man. Cool it.

Nice version from a good show in an underwhelming year. A big highlight of the first set.
