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.

I've been wondering the same thing. Often the link is to an inferior source . . . too bad . . . hope there's a way! BTW, heady 4th of July version!

Superb in every solo, expressive all-the-way around, band in one of their peaks, what else can you ask?
