Billy and Mickey play together like they were a big octopus on this one. 'The Wheel' comes rolling nicely out of 'Space'. Altogether, a G-rated D>P.

An '82 vintage Playin' sandwich that finds the boys playin' in fine form. DP 32.

Jerry really belts this one out. All of the attention to detail that you'd expect in a version from this era plus a good bridge solo.

An enjoyable listen, but most notable, I'd say, for an excellent little peak that rises up like a volcano towards the end of the jam.

They Love Each Other

A good, light and airy version that shows quite well what this song was up to near the end of its first year in the rotation.

Arrowhead Stadium

The most interesting version I can think of that clocks in at under 9 minutes, and that ain't meant to disparage none of those fine '71 versions.

Another nice one.

The goods get delivered, '78 vintage-style.

And great final jam, too! This one is a monster. In fact, this whole show is one fine little nugget.
Big Railroad Blues

Wembley Empire Pool

Still always the first one that comes to mind.
