Starts out with a slow rootsy intro and Bob throwin out a Wait a minute! Then Jer shows up with the machine gun. Short and different.

Dreamy, soft Brent tones accent Jer's warm vocal work and delicate picking.

Not Fade Away

Fox Theatre

Sad to see this had only 1 vote - I hope it gets heard and then given its due.. rollicking is the right descriptor...'71 NFA's had some special sauce. The GDTRFB is sweet justice as well - they hit overdrive smoothly NFA reprise is nice strong gut punch too +1 and more if I could... quality '71 action here.

Sweet Lincoln's mullet! Looks like I already bumped this sometime I dunno when before - required listening here.
Sugar Magnolia

Sports Palace

I feel like the jam in Sugar Mags is one of their purest rock and roll song expressions - sure they played it a million times but when it was on - it was ON - no matter the era when Jer decided to flip the boogie switch and Bobby was screaming his shorts off - GAME OVER - just listened to Dallas 11/24/72 and that's a MOFO ... just a different styled one than this but both gotz the same roots. I love it when Jer soars over that Sugar Mags engine.....
