Bobby seems to be so on this night. Everybody seems to be taking his lead so far.

Incredible late 80's version. First listen to this show, holy crap it's hot!

Heard this last night on the XM Dead Channel. Just classic high energy rock n roll!

Incredible duel between Jerry and Brent Jams! There is nothing in this world like that Hammond organ mixed with Jerry's MIDI

Jerry takes an energetic Scarlet into a mellow jazzy outro into a smooth transition into Fire then Phil starts raising the energy and the Fire grows..

Damn fine version of this song!

Maybe part of a good sequence but this was the most sterile, unemotional version of this song I've ever heard.

Holy Shit does he dominate this song! It's like they ramped this version up to make up for that sub-par Gimme Some Lovin' out of Space. Absolutely great show.

Sought this show out due to the previous posts/comments recently. Wow. I'm starting to think you could put October '89 up against May '77 or April/May '72 for historic greatness. Different eras. Different musicians. But the late 80's did give some great moments.
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

The way this Other One starts, it's almost angry. But it flows into a smooth, almost reflective, jam between verses that Phil then draws back into an angry focus, that then melts into Stella. Incredible version!
