Whether it's the 16th or the 23rd, it's a real humdinger. Perfect transition out of Truckin'.

Whether it's the 16th or 23rd, it's a killerdillerthriller. Ripping version, with a perfect transition from Truckin'.

Energy and power that struts its stuff. This show seems direly overlooked. Very nice mix and sound quality.

Beautiful jam and transition. The mix shows off Bobby nicely, which is rare for the era. His contribution is beautiful here. Enjoy.

Sultry swaggering deeply opiated vibe, with a hot harp solo. Was this Pig or Will Scarlet?

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

This one really deserves its spot on the front page, even for a a song played 300 times more or less over the years. Like much of this show it seems tentative at times but of a sudden turns just colossally confident. The oomph that everyone mentions is real, and they orchestrate the highs and lows to perfection.

Absolute face melter. Kicks off an absolute dream sequence in the 2nd set.

Keith is woodshedding throughout this. Gives us a master blaster class of razzle and dazzle during the whole number. He's got ten fingers on each hand if he's got one!

Teases "Blackbird" in the noodling after, which is honestly my favorite part of this version. Not to disrespect the song, but it didn't move me. This JGB with Bobby doing an acoustic Blackbird sure did, however, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMsS-fIhWuk
Me and My Uncle

Not only is this the first version since 17.06.1975 (not since 1974 as said here), but this may be the very first pure disco beat they played in concert. Disco-dead might not be everybody's favourite cuppa, but it certainly did happen.... Enjoy it you cardboard cowboys!!!
