Nice work by Phil and Brent; Jerry flubbing lyrics all night, looking worse for the wear, but pickin' his heart out!

Fun stuff, especially Brent's organ; actually enjoyed the Good Lovin' it goes into more than I usually do with Bobby versions.

Really surprised to find this so low. Bouncy, rockin' version that reminds me of those stellar '78 ones. Surprisingly great early 80s Jerry vocals.

Not a tune that usually elicits a vote from me, but this is good stuff. After one and a half listens (first one feeling a little disappointed) I think this show is starting to grow on me too.

Majestic jamming. Easily the highlight of the show for me.

Finally got around to listening to this one. Really rockin' and high energy for sure; lots of fun and deserves to be celebrated, but to me there are a bunch of '78 and '83 versions that top it, along with that epic '79 one that is a hidden track on DP 13.
