Boston Music Hall

Streaks across the sky like a comet. Choose the SBD version, you won't regret it. Bobby and Donny are totally on together.

Really needs a cleanup, or some miracle tapes to clear the sound on this little gem. They were on. Where's the rest of the SB?

Listen through the murky AUD and you'll find a powerhouse version that clearly blew the doors off. Crowd energy contributes to a great version.

No bad ones at all from this era, but listen in and you can hear Jerry drive Bobby higher and higher. Great powerful emotive energy.

Starts really loose, but gets going.

Crystal clear and jam-a-licious. A sparkling beauty.

Confirms why I'm not so into the '80s.

Dane County Coliseum

I'd vote for this one twice on the MLB alone. Zo zweet.
