Its All Over Now
April 21, 1978
Rupp Arena

Hottest I've ever heard . . . Bobby's growling, Jerry's solo is inspired, huge crescendo . . . as good as the Faces' romp off their album

Great show, great licks, perfect bar room mood. Hot!

He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Nearly twenty minutes of He's Gone goodness -- jam goes into Drums then NFA but stays squarely in He's Gone territory with some very nice interplay.

Fox Theatre

A lot like the wild December 2 Casey, without the extra solo at the end. A fantastic, complete build-up. Keith goes nuts. Great energy!

Solid.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Winterland Arena

Right on. This is a keeper, for sure. LONG, fluid transition.
New Minglewood Blues
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

Yeah, this is super-hot, just went back and checked it off the new box set. Great interplay!
Morning Dew
April 15, 1978
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.
