The slower tempo here lets Jerry and Keith stretch out some during their solos.

Startled not to find this here. Def. best of Palladium run, and can stand toe to toe with the rest of the month.

fantastic version with great Bobby/Donna. Everyone else is just trying to match their emotional performances.

Just more stellar May '77 balladry.

Baba O'Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows

Picked these because I knew and loved the originals. In retrospect I would have started elsewhere, but that's in the past. I thought I was ready for the bus after the headiness of the originals, but how wrong I was!

Takes a minute to materialize out of "Playing," but that's worth hearing. Jerry rips out the "train" line!

Nice solo from Jerry, and then a big contribution from Brent. Not to be missed by Brenantics. Giving this one the up-vote bump.

Surprisingly nice version, kicks up some at the end.
