Powerful stadium-sized blast of Dylan. This one just clicks along almost perfectly. Brent's B3 solo just rips...

Great LL Rain from my first show. Some "thunder" audio weirdness (Healy?) makes this one unique. Nice raindrop notes fom Jerry at the climax, too.

Cleveland Public Auditorium

Nicely stretched out, mellow version from Summer '80. This one has some righteous peaks and I love Brent's B3 sound here.

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Fillmore West

This is the one. Jerry shows what he learned from Janis vocally on this one. Just dripping with emotion.

This is just a monster version. The boys are finally clickin' on all cylinders on this scorching afternoon. Every member really shines.

Nice Hornsby-dominated latter-day version. Starts off the show and the tour with some serious juice!
Foolish Heart

Memorial Stadium

Jer has a real hard time with the lyrics here, but makes up for it in the jam!

Great, primal DS from back when Jerry still had that THICK Gibson tone...ahhhhh

Maybe not as grandiose as some others, but so RAW...if this ain't Primal Dead, I don't know what is
