Rocking Casey Jones, first one with Brent. The band sounds completely revitalized with a new keyboard player.

Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This Not Fade Away is outstanding, slow funky intro and high energy vocals lead to a short second jam, but it will bring a smile to your face.

C. C. Rider

Madison Square Garden

I love the Branford solo, very sweet and where Jerry’s solo is supposed to be they transition to “Its Takes a Lot to Laugh…” Give it a listen.

C. C. Rider
Dec. 1, 1979
Stanley Theater

Out of an amazing Gloria jam, the first C. C. Rider is a must listen, Bobby just spits out the lyrics. The jam that follows is hot as well.

Black Peter
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

The “Run and See” portion of this Black Peter is off the charts, the best I have heard. The Charlie Miller SB transfer is outstanding, give it a listen. There needs to be an official release from the Spring ’78 Virginia shows, (2 Virgina , 1 West VA) all are very good.
Aiko Aiko
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

The first one is a good version, coming out of St Stephens. I sure many thought it was Not Fade Away, which they then seamlessly transition into after Aiko. Great sequence, give it a listen.
Gimme Some Lovin'
June 25, 1985
Blossom Music Center

Would have nominated this version, I Love It!!
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

This one needs more votes, you should have it, Dick's Picks #34, you know the saying "When Phil is on..."
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

This is when I “Got It”, my third show, up all night started moving forward after the break, found a milk crate about 100’ from the massive stage, the Half-Step in the first set gave me chills, but this Eyes just transcended space and time that day, (It was my first dance song at my wedding, some 23 years later) and continues to inspire me.
