Best ever. No fooling. Don't miss Mickey and Billy dueling each other at the frenzied end jam before heading into SSDD. Whole version insane!

Crazy hard driving insanisty to end the first set. One of those jam segments that builds and builds and KABOOMS into final verse. Phil fans: a must

Sweet & melty....gorgeous harmonies from Brent.

1977 was a helluva year for this song. I have no quarrel w/ 5/5, 5/19, or 5/21, but I think this one beats 'em all by a nose!

With all due rfespect to Barton Hall & others, this is the best version out there (IMO). Bluesy, rockin', jammin', just exactly perfect

A nearly 4 minute intro sparkles and anchors this underrated gem from '78...a really fine even-paced entry that has Jerry plucking beautiful jazzy notes as if rolling along a river on a lazy afternoon. Up it!

I'm always on the search for great Aikos and this fits the bill. Thanks for pointing it out. Brent as mentioned is in full on Michael McDonald harmony mode (not in a bad way at all!) His ringing high backup is very much needed to counter-balance beautifully Jerry's growly 1984 lead vocal...but Jer is into this one and he nails his vocal parts w/gusto. The band is rolling in a half-fast/half slow rhythm that moves things along nicely. Great up n'down bop jam prior to the last verse--and that's when Jer really lets loose w/the growling. Perfect version for next Mardi Gras or any time you need a slice of the Crescent City.

This comes from a show that I would nominate for the greatest set list in GD history. You get in set 1 alone a Shakedown>GSET opener, a Birdsong>Cassidy (among other gems) closing w/a China>Rider. Then in set 2 a Scarlet>Fire opener, a CC Rider (!) 2nd set placement???really?, and an Estimated>Eyes. I truly cannot recall another show with that many marquee tunes all played under one roof on one night. (Did I mention the double encore of OMSN and Baby Blue?) One persnickety problem: all the available sources are AUDs and none of them are great. The CM source is predictably the best of the lot but even he couldn't save this from making you say "I wish there was a SBD of this show available." Still, it's a fine early 80's S>F....the jamming is exploratory and inventive and it's upvote worthy, but it's a little cruel listening to such an amazing show with so many golden nuggets sprinkled throughout and not having a very good sound to do it justice.

Final jam section starts with Keith, ends with Jerry, vocal rejoin just growled by Bobby. Gotta up it.
