Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

Everyone sounds great on this outrageous version. Check out Brent's vocals and playing, as well as Bobby's playing. Burning.

He's Gone
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Remarkable solo by Jerry
Feel Like A Stranger
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Love it when they get lost at the end of a tune and aren't sure what to do. The bottom falls out and weird things happen. Also, is this the only Stranger -> He's Gone?
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Great version with one of the best outro jams to Supplication I've heard - Phil expanding on Jerry's ideas
Alabama Getaway
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Deceptively hot version. You don't realize how great it is till it's over. Jerry burns it up, Bobby and Phil also sound great. Nice aud recording
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 4, 1980
Baltimore Civic Center

Everyone shows up for this fantastic version. Love that fluttery thing Mickey plays in the jam. Great mood throughout
