The Spectrum

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.

Lyrically tight, good contributions from everyone, very focused.

Right on, Carrion, Donna was great this whole run. This show is a perfect slow groove, with this High Time played AFTER Stephen ) Eyes ) LIG . . . Unbelievable stuff

Jerry's second slide solo is unreal. My go-to Jimmy, along with 77-03-20. Perfectly described by Cuse above. Have absolutely no idea why this only has two votes, as this tape definitely makes the rounds . . .

If you want to hear Jerry at his best vocally, listen to this.

Great version, this one gets pretty nasty, thanks for the rec.

Carrion Crow hit the nail on the head: incredibly shredding good time vibe! Listen now at all costs!
