Not my favorite song but an excellent version. Bobby rocks out.

My second to last show. It was a great night all around. One of the better shows I saw, with the 87 and 89 MSG shows. We knew this was a great show early on and this song is no exception. I think the 70’s versions are better but still deserves to be here.

I think the date is 10/11 and not 11/10

Funny how every now and then I see these discussions around. I personally prefer 5/2/70, but voted for this too. I love the acoustic version, but this is still a great version. I think you should not upvote every version you hear, but you should upvote the ones you think are strong versions. Especially if they are not as well known. No one needs to be told that Scarlet->Fire or Morning Dew from Cornell is a heady version but I am going to check out the 3/27/94 Dew because of this site, and, frankly, I never listen to 94. Example for me, NFA from Englishtown is unmatched in my opinion, but I love this song. I voted for the 5/9/77 Buffalo War Memorial NFA which is listed much lower, and is not close to as good as Englishtown, but is still awesome and much better than many above it.

I agree with BearRat. This is one of the better Bobby Good Lovin's. For some reason this doesn't show when I look at the Good Lovin' page, only when I look at 7/8/78's page.

Good clean fun. I remember getting this tape years ago. I went through a faze of getting all the shows with rare songs and only time played. I no longer remember who I got it from or when but it is definitely a fun song and show. If you are into this kind of thing, Bobby singing “Fever” was fun too. A little rough but fun and had potential if it had more plays
