They Love Each Other
Oct. 2, 1976
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.

Big Railroad Blues

Billy's drums sound great here. A rampaging version!
Me and My Uncle
Oct. 8, 1989
Hampton Coliseum

Bobby actually upstages Jerry here, especially after the flubbed Candyman. Wild version with tons of gusto in the vocals, and the energy continues into Big River.
Jack Straw

Providence Civic Center

??? There was no show on this date. Did you mean 4/4/85?
Hell in a Bucket
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

Since this comment will bring me to +666 points, I might as well comment on a hot Hell in a Bucket. And boy is it hot. Sets the tone for an excellent show.
Throwing Stones
Oct. 11, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Hot jam with that classic Cassidy-esque riff that marked earlier versions of this song. Toward the end, it sounds like the band wants to go into Sugar Magnolia, but Jerry cans it for Touch of Grey.
