12 minutes of '77 magic from an under rated show

Orpheum Theatre

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.

Loose Lucy

Dane County Coliseum

What a way to start the year! Loose Lucy's from Feb. '73 are just the thing to cheer up a dark and dismal month.

What's NOT superb at this show? Every one a winner!
They Love Each Other
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Another great 1973 version from another great 1973 show. I run out of superlatives sometimes and just stand/sit amazed listening to the quality- not just of an individual song or even a whole show, but weeks at a time with hardly a duff SONG let alone show. November 1973 is one of those months. I love TLEO from 1973 best of all I think. uptempo, extra lyrics, well sung. Oh Happy Daze
Deal
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

1978 Deal could be like that(see the Nashville Show!)
He's Gone
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

What's available of this show is 1 hour 36 minutes of 1972 magic. I can only wonder what the first set was like. A superb version of He's Gone. Agree with Carrion Crow-what's available is all really top quality.
