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.

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

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

Dane County Coliseum

Great slow burn.
