Convincing vocal performance by Jer. Especially second verse.

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

Morning Dew

The Fox theater

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

Franklin's Tower
Jan. 30, 1978
Uptown Theater

Intense, dynamic version. Goes to a lot of unexpected places.
Eyes Of The World
Jan. 30, 1978
Uptown Theater

This is a great one, with Jerry and Phil inspired throughout, and a jam into Stella no less
Big River
Jan. 15, 1978
Selland Arena

Jerry takes this Big River by the throat.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jan. 13, 1978
Arlington Theater

Phil is great on this and I love how Jerry holds back and takes his time on the solos, waiting for something to happen. Burning fire at the end too.
Jack Straw

Golden Hall

Phil is incredible in the second solo.
