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.

Looks Like Rain

Orpheum Theater

Donna and Bobby's singing was at it's best in 1976. Finally, they both stopped(most of the time) screeching and sang within their range and volume and the band sounds so much better for it. If only they had stuck with this instead of resorting to type. Ah well.....
Deal
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

What's NOT good in this show? From a stellar year where hardly any show is a bust or drags, this is a top 5 show. Well worth taking some time out from your busy lives and listening to the whole show. Can't think of too many better ways to spend 3 hours and also raise your well being for much longer. P.s I love DEAL

Superb,really high energy,mad ending. Yeah "we quit" from Bobby is just about right. Give it a whirl with your girl!
He's Gone
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Very good indeed. But September 72 "He's Gone" are so many and wonderous- see 9/21 &9/28 especially. Indeed IMO the Spectrum show and the 3 nights at the Stanley Theatre are every bit as good as Venata.

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

One of the best-so well played and sung, all just exactly purrfect. Pure Sunshine Daydream
