Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Loose and bluesy upfront then Jer gets riff happy with some sweet bends while Bobby blows power chords - a really cool racket here.

You beat me to it! This is one of my favorites - the right tempo - Jers husky vocal and guitar tone all add up to a soulful ode. This was a hinky weekend that was set up to launch into outer space and they never quite got there (although we did hahaha) ... there was a pond/lake behind the stage too that made this one fitting....

This is top notch always assumed it was way up the list and then saw your comment. I agree this combo cranked and I would guess that the NFA's that bookend this are high up on the list. Bobby's wailing in the reprise alone have to make it top 3 IMO.

How is this not higher?!? The feelin groovy jam is SUBLIME - respect everyone's personal preferences but really how are people missing this one?? Only 4 freakin stars - dang....I'd give that just for Bobby's backing vocals on IKYR! Sheesh!
