Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

I Need A Miracle

*Joani, sheesh.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

*Serious* firepower, vocally as well as instrumentally. Check this out, folks.
Let It Grow
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Very exploratory in parts! I can’t think of many late-’70s versions that are this adventurous.
Estimated Prophet
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

Even by the standards of ’79, this is a *great* Estimated. Enjoy.
Sugar Magnolia
July 24, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Sugar Mag seemingly was a good fit for the band’s strengths in ’87. It really shines in crisp renditions like this one.
