Definitly the best one! The 1st 2 hours are a little plodding, but once the acid kicked in, it was smoooth sailing!

If a better board of this show had been circulating, this Bertha would be so much higher, and right into one of the best Good Lovins ever, Fall 77

Dave's 24 is here....
Foolish Heart
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

I'm a big Foolish Heart junkie and I gotta say it, this FH is just plain weak...The main solo is like they're sleepy and the end jam isn't much better..I'm gonna go and listen to 7/19/89 Alpine valley and The Omni 4/3/91

Fox Theatre

Truckin'

Newcastle City Hall
