In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

For sentimental reasons: Maybe not the best, but nice extended out-row jam, overall well-played '80s

Scorching coda to an amazing Truckin'-NFA-GDTRFB. Whole show is pretty historic.....

Lovely!! Bobby (on the slide) starts chasing Jerry….. Jerry just picks up the pace, and Bobby does his best to keep up!!

And yet….. Spencer Davis’ guitar sounds a bit like Jorma!?! Lol! Very good! Crazy fun show! And yeah… With Bruce and Brent. Very very cool!

The bridge jam is classic ‘74, but what might set this apart from a lot of others at the time is Jerry’s “headlight roar,” which is so reminiscent of the 80s…..
