Smooth and slinky, beautifully sandwiched between a gorgeous High Time and a flawless He's Gone!

Truly insane Deadness. And Gratefulness. Some of the greatest jamming ever. How ridiculous it must have been. Never fails.

Beacon Theatre

Another that could be my all time favorite. Many years ago, I had no doubt.

Great American Music Hall

Like the Help-Slip-Frank on this night, this is just about as close to perfection as they've ever been, which is always a bit Weird, when they really don't miss a note. Definitely a toss up between this and the Beacon.... But I might love the Beacon a little more for it's roughness!!!

War Memorial

For some crazy reason, I'll always take this (and a whole bunch of others) over the Great American, which is so perfect, I know. But maybe that's why... Great American is just a little... too perfect.... Absurd, I know!!!
Pretty Peggy O

Huntington Civic Center

WoW!!! Great beauty. As is 5/9/77. Totally amazing. Still gotta say 9/3/77 is the greatest Peggy-O ever (DP 15). Like most great ones, it doesn't have just a few powerful moments. It's powerful throughout. One of the few versions of anything I can say is my absolute, all time favorite (along with the Half Step from that show, and the He's Gone-NFA....). Sick show. A lot of Heads from the Bronx at that one in Englishtown...
