Berkeley Community Theatre

Even though it cuts out after 16mins, a really fine 1972 TOO. Worth 16 minutes of anyones time.

Although only part of set 2 seems to exist, great show. Clean,good energy,starting to get that fall 73 jazziness.

A GREAT show all over. Donna is in tune, The band are ALL on , high energy, Jerry's vocal flubbs and forgetting are the biggest let down. Still 4 1/2 star Deal

KEITH,KEITH,KEITH!!! The opener, Jerry forgets the words,shrugs and the band just plays. Keith is very much on fire tonight. the playing is very tight. If you can, give the whole show a whirl-great Scarlet>Fire amongst others, but Keith 's playing is very good and higher in the mix.

Should be much higher, as both songs brilliantly played. High energy, good vocals, smooth transition. By the Bye this is one hell of a show. Keith's playing is superb! see review of Casey Jones

Again Keith with that haunting, ethereal organ and jazz piano. Sharp vocals from Jerry rather than heartfelt. Beautiful tone from Bobby's guitar. Jerry's solo doesn't quite make it. 22/6;23/6/ and 28/6 all better IMO.
