Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Steps out unexpectedly from an almost-aborted Miracle. Tight and right jamming.

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Jerry's restatements of the melody throughout his solos are brilliant uptempo marvels.

Playin' In The Band

Beacon Theatre

Beautiful, comprehensive statement of where Playin' was at in the beginning of the post-hiatus '76 sound. 20 minutes of love.

Beacon Theatre

Lotsa fun rocker with the louche touch becoming of the song. Did Donna ever sound better than Summer '76?

The Music Never Stopped
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

This one's got the goods. Doesn't shred-out at the end, but tight playing, and great vocals all around.

Has it all. This set is just outrageously perfect.

Never drifts or waddles, just lifts off and flies away on a long and beautiful journey across it all and back again.
Weather Report Suite

Winterland Arena

LIG on its own is up there with the most interesting and beautiful ones ever.
High Time
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

First one in six years (09/1970). Very pretty and beautifully harmonised. You know, Donna gets so little love here, but listen up here and you'll hear something of what the boys heard in her.
