Samson and Delilah

Orpheum Theater

Full of strut. The band is in perfect form, everyone is on. Precise, strong, and full of swagger.

Might As Well

Orpheum Theater

Barnburning storm burster so strong it blows out speakers around 03:30 in. Kicks off the party with Jerry in full form, vox and guitar.

Maybe not everyone's favorite song (or anyone's), but this is the ballsiest most swaggering one since they busted it out. Great mix helps, too.

Orpheum Theater

Note for note perfection. Cassidy was a blazing glory during this whole Summer tour.

Keith could play a piano just like ringing a bell. Jeez, but he just slays it here. Show this to your kid learning the keyboard, damn.

Absolutely in agreement. With DP33 repackaging this show there should be a lot more attention to it! This one is just perfect, and the whole show has outrageous energy.

Sizzling and crisp, up tempo, with great vox and back up from Bobby and Donna Jean. Yep, this is a big thumbs up.

Nonoyolker's perfect comment. From note one this showcases the no-note out of place pristine musicianship that some are characterising as the '77 sound. Great high energy show here.
New Minglewood Blues

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

They just got better and better from the new debut in July, and this one tops the year (so far). Ballsy, full of swagger, lots of stank nasty on Bobby's snarl. Heaps of fun.

Cobo Arena

Not only is this version hot, but it's the bust-out too, setting up for all the great Bobby-Donna ones.
