Sweet Jerry vocals. A delicate ship setting sail into the post 1974 seas. Good harmonies from Bob and Donna. An overlooked show from an overlooked yea

One of best of 1974. Tight, Jerry inventive and confident, good soloing. Everything a Deal should be. Give it a listen.

Comes out of a MLB jam, a big fat mellow groove sets out what is one of those weeks of really good versions.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Really rockin' version, great playing ,great singing. I'm just loving the 1971 shows I'm hearing just now. This show is as good as any you'll hear.

D.S-El Paso-D.S. 2nd part turns into a high energy rockin' jam. Makes a nice change to hear such focused driving guitar from Jerry-this whole show his playing shows that he was one of the very,very best rock guitarists ever. Give this whole show a whirl.

Hill Auditorium

I Love these 71/72 Deals; nice straightforward for ageing cuddly bears to shuffle along with Keith doing some lovely "bar room" type piano fills in the background. What's not to like.
