Loose and loud - garage band city here! Tempo all over the road but nice and fast for the jam.

Big time bluesy show so Brent's train song fits into the night Jerry's vox is burnt but good energy this night.

Brent wakes everybody up with his B3 and then Jerr gets all sprightly on the jam - nice later one.

Jerry does some sweet bending and carving on this one - the band is in step on this one.

hahah agree with you both - but there is something endearing about it to me - might be one of the 1st times they played it and there's clearly some more work they needed to do on this but I find it a fun crunchy mess and I am more partial to the early messes of their songs in general than later ones in the 80's and 90's.

Sweltering day out there and they delivered some rippers in anticipation of playing with Bobby D.

An alltime favorite and definitive for the early 80's sound - saw it, loved it (whole show crushes). Agree on the church vibe -Seaman's Chapel confessional happening right here...awesome dankness.
