Its All Over Now

Rupp Arena

Hottest I've ever heard . . . Bobby's growling, Jerry's solo is inspired, huge crescendo . . . as good as the Faces' romp off their album

Great show, great licks, perfect bar room mood. Hot!

He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Nearly twenty minutes of He's Gone goodness -- jam goes into Drums then NFA but stays squarely in He's Gone territory with some very nice interplay.

A lot like the wild December 2 Casey, without the extra solo at the end. A fantastic, complete build-up. Keith goes nuts. Great energy!

Nice version, but Jerry's voice here is just shot. A shame, cuz the band is really dialed in.

Silky . . . Jerry strikes a great tone in the solo with the Travis Bean -- love it!

Great energy, Jerry is really up and the boys work together magically throughout this tune like much of this run.

Jerry gets the words wrong a bit at the beginning, but this is my go-to Peggy-O -- the band is connected, Jerry has a lovely solo, and the groove is just perfect. Later in the set is a Row Jimmy for all-time as well. Great show.
