Boston Music Hall

All the all-time Sugarees from early 77 start here folks, and they're already sublime. Keith shines.

Winterland Arena

Are you kidding?! How could this high-energy romp not even be nominated once? Comes out of a killer Franklin's. Listen now!

Not Fade Away
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

I had to put this up. It's basically NFA "containing" Iko, as if Iko (the first played) sprang up from the body of NFA, rather than a song of its own

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

this spring run of shows is superb for several first set standards -- peggy o, loser, candyman, and every IAON has great energy -- check them all out!

Veterans Memorial Auditorium

First time played often has some magic in it; this is no exception, especially something this cheeky; long, too, like they don't know how to close it

Right on. This is a keeper, for sure. LONG, fluid transition.
New Minglewood Blues

St. Louis Arena

Yeah, this is super-hot, just went back and checked it off the new box set. Great interplay!
Morning Dew

William and Mary College Hall

Like a lot of the slow burn ballads in 76' and 78', this deserves a lot more recognition; creative, plaintive, everything you want from a Dew. Criminally underrated.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Great slow burn.
