Phildown St. opener in the ginormo dome at Syrabuse. Phil makes this one groovy.

Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

All of the above comments are true. I checked and Jerry really goes “Big Dawg” here.

Bobby biffs the final verse because Jerry ripped everyone's face off with his solo - Oh mi dios!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Nov. 13, 1978
Music Hall

One of those nights where Jerry SOARS on certain tunes, Peggy-O, Jack Straw and this Half-Step are exhibits 1,2&3.

Music Hall

Raw and biting solo the way I like'em, I love Stagger Lee's but so, so many can be disasters (tempo?). This one keeps the momentum going and Jer's dialed up hotlicks this evening. BDub's' slide is palatable too..
