They Love Each Other
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

Jerry and Brent's interplay is contagious as the band joins the organic groove. Jerry's beat sounding vocals add to this suprisingly...

Sphinx Theatre

Weirs lays down the subtle sad slide guitar for the bros in far away Egypt. Great Row Jimmy vibe...

Jerry's solos groove with this great Foxtrot Ballroom melody and the band just swings along with him. So Perfect!!

The nastiest '74 psychedelic jazzy funkyness. Dirty Harry's worst nightmare.

Playin' In The Band
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

This Playin' is balls to the wall. Uptempo breakneck pace all the the way through. Bill K is a pure force of nature. Delivers every listen . No Donna scream; don't have to turn your system down, 5 stars !!!!!

Best transition into DDHNM. Hard, gripping, ripping, focused, trance inducing, flooring...my favorite! This whole jam is perfect...can't believe this isn't voted higher.
Playin' In The Band

Nassau Coliseum

This one never lets up throughout; no stops for feedback or noise, just the whole band dripping one power psychedelia all the way through. Definitely heady!
Stagger Lee
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Overall a great version; the best I have heard. Jerry's solo perfectly nails the Stagger Lee melody and the whole vibe is just right.
