Blistering leads that melt to some swinging grooves.

Really fine take with bluesy TC takes on keys and Jerry smoking the outro.

The whole GANG is having a blast - you can just hear it and feel it. Great force from Bob, throaty DJ, and on point JG accents. Tight!

Nice and loose with strong dank factor.

Cold Rain was always my preferred opener (besides Shakedown) as well. Check the Lusk 4/18/71 for another slow take that's pretty interesting.

Too bad you left! and yes it is the GREAT State of Maine :) - I saw these guys in PA, CO, CA (where I've lived) and many places in between but never made it back in the day to a show in Maine where they pulled off some memorable gigs. This 3 night stand was big for me in my hometown after 2 yrs of going to the Spectrum. Ps thanks for the compliment - try to keep it interesting hahaha and always check the Miller!

Put on the phones and wait for energy transference - both tunes deliver DANK jams. Strong contender for tops in the '80s and worthy of consideration for more than 5...
