They attack this one with a rare level of energy and precision. Nice showcase for Pig on Organ too.

Keith and Bobby absolutely crush it, setting up a white hot solo from Jerry to kick off a brilliant show.

The Music Never Stopped
April 10, 1978
Fox Theatre

4 votes? This is a contender for worst version of the Keith and Donna era.
Not Fade Away
April 7, 1978
The Sportatorium

Oddly moody. Jerry is feeling a little lethargic this set, but that actually manifests as some incentive jamming on this occasionally formulaic cover
The Music Never Stopped

The Sportatorium

Bob's contributions to the main jam are downright hypnotic. One of the best ever.
Passenger
April 6, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Everything that makes April '78 special. Slightly hairier than '77 but still precise and in the pocket. This version avoids feeling like a throwaway.
Wharf Rat
April 12, 1971
Civic Arena

The main song portion is.a bit Shakey, but the jam is beautiful.
