Don't Ease Me In
a breakout for the last keith and donna show. just a real nice version with great harmonies and of course jerry playing his heart out.

Bertha
VERY VERY high energy ripper, Jerry's notes are just piercing on this evenings version. Sweet rocking transition into Good Lovin, Phil just nails it!

Looks Like Rain
There are some great versions after this one, but it never quite soars to the heights it does with Donna. Her backing is mesmerizing n Jerry nails it!

Jack A Roe
PHIL PHIL and more PHIL. He is so on this whole show, Jerry plays fantastic leads on this version.

The Wheel
The symbolism of playing this one at Keith & Donna's last show makes this one significant. Great version.
