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

State Fairgrounds Coliseum

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..

I don't know. It's a little too Disco-Dead for what is, ostensibly, a country song and Bobby flubs a few of the lyrics. I'll take 8-21-1972. Just my opinion.

Definitely my favorite. "Grabbed a bottle, racked him in the jaw" line is awesome.

Is it Mickey on a xylophone or a secondary synth for Brent that hits those diamond-like drops of musical goodness throughout "Lady With a Fan"? Really good version. Maybe not best ever, but really freaking good!

The outro jam with Jerry forcing the band to keep up to his pace is awesome. Just picked this show up with the May '77 box. Excited to see what else I'm in for.

An amazing version that ends an amazing show. Get the whole show on tape if you can. It is absolutely amazing.
