Pretty darn perfect. Mellow funkiness of 76 with 77 precision.

Madison Square Garden

Contains a cool Samson and Delilah jam with each member (incl. Vince) contributing equally. Everyone is on.

Jerry is clearly in the mood to rock out in this show, and this song benefits from it. Raw. Great solos. Very funky.

Band bristles with restrained energy. Jerry's voice is scratchy and perfect. Great harmony on the chorus.

This song single-handedly converted me on the early 80s. Whole show is excellent.

I like this song better when it's a real song instead of a Bobby vehicle. Just a personal preference. Setting that aside, still probably the best version.

At first I didn't like Brent on this, but now that's the reason I keep coming back to it.

Strand Lyceum

This one gets me. The band is just hitting their stride in that leaderless, fragile way they did in 72, and Jerry's delivery is more natural and more subdued than usual. It just breaks my heart.
