Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

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

Awesome version with a Mojo sandwiched in the middle
Playin' In The Band

Rupp Arena

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

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.
