Casey Jones
Seething, edgy, hard rocking ending this one. ENERGY!
10
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Funky and FAST!
13
He's Gone
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.
4
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Supplication!!! I know Keith is playing cheesy bullshit - maybe that's why the other 5 guys are on fire?
5
Candyman
There's a Betty Board of this one available. And it's gorgeous. What's stopping you?
6
Stella Blue
Slow long version with nice solo at end. I think this one is so good due to the NFA before it and the smoking GDTRFB after.
3
Around and Around
I hate this song, but this a great one!
1
Mexicali Blues
Decidedly not great.
5
Tennessee Jed
Perfect, with some filthy guitar in the outro.
2
Brown Eyed Women
Every bit the equal of Cornell. 8/24/80 still has a better solo, but this is 1977 y'all.
1
Promised Land
Embodies that deliberate, fluid ’77 lilt, upon which some fanning ignites the runout
5
Not Fade Away
Rowdy, then ebbs into a slower jam to Stella
2
Samson and Delilah
Billy K
4
Cassidy
A very mellow version from a beautiful concert
1
They Love Each Other
Excellent TLEO among the other ‘77 renditions
2
Big River
Roaring 77 performance
