This is what LLR is all about -- silky harmonies with Bob and Donna at one of their vocal peaks, and Keith filling it in -- understated and exquisite.

Really laid back beginning out of Iko Iko, but Jerry's solo is somehow simultaneously fluid, mellow, AND intense. Superb finish, too!

If you like 3-18, you'll like this one, too; some vocal flubs, but the groove is perfect.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

A decent Promised Land till the end, when the band just hits another gear completely, kicking off a superb show.

Nice version, but Jerry's voice here is just shot. A shame, cuz the band is really dialed in.

Silky . . . Jerry strikes a great tone in the solo with the Travis Bean -- love it!

Great energy, Jerry is really up and the boys work together magically throughout this tune like much of this run.

Jerry gets the words wrong a bit at the beginning, but this is my go-to Peggy-O -- the band is connected, Jerry has a lovely solo, and the groove is just perfect. Later in the set is a Row Jimmy for all-time as well. Great show.
