Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

Not Fade Away
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

What has ever been better? This, as the poster says, is fucking nuts. Fast, precise and beautiful. Funny thing about this, when Donna just screams, I feel the same. If I could, I would let out a scream. For all the times I wish she was quiet, this time I am on board with the scream. This song and show is fucking crazy.

Wow. Top 5 for sure. Could be as high as 2. Englishtown is untouchable.

Hmm. I usually agree but not here. This would not be anywhere near the top for me. Evans, Live Dead, Barton are probably my top. The Ark shows and Shrine are great too. The last 2:30 of this is good but the Close Encounters thing does nothing for me. This song should have stayed in the repertoire though. What a great song.

One of the best Bobby versions I have heard. So much energy.
Bertha

Hartford Civic Center

Rip roaring fun. Deserves more votes. In the 70’s, a good Bertha started a lot of great shows. In the 80s, a lot of Shakedowns did the same. This Bertha really rocks out! It will get anyone with legs to dance. This is a very good and very well balanced show.
