Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Every time I listen to this one (which isn’t often), I forget about Bob’s slide playing, which sounds like a kid in Guitar Center picking up a slide for the first time. Everything else about this version is superb, but the slide is too distracting
Dancin' in the Streets

The Spectrum

Awesome version with a Mojo sandwiched in the middle
Playin' In The Band
April 21, 1978
Rupp Arena

An overlooked gem from the stellar month of April '78
Dark Star

Here’s Dick and Big Steve on QVC promoting DP11. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V_9ZNsbJedk
Playin' In The Band
April 17, 1983
Meadowlands Arena

This needs to move up the board. For a year that’s not notable for Playin’s, this one really shines. Brent’s synthesizer sounds almost sinister at moments, like the moment the villain is revealed in a suspense movie.
