Its All Over Now

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

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!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

78's where it's at with Scarlet-Fire -- the band really takes it in so many directions throughout the year. This is a superb rendition, spot on . . .
He's Gone

Baltimore Civic Center

Great vocals AND absolutely superb jam into Truckin' = whole other level
Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Hot, Hot, Hot! Great interplay with Brent really shining . . . best I've ever heard!
Truckin'
June 20, 1974
The Omni

Love when they do the Nobody's Fault But Mine jam, and this one is particularly fluid, coming off a huge Jerry solo sequence -- truly stellar.
Estimated Prophet

Huntington Civic Center

Bobby butchers the lyrics but the band is totally on for the remainder. Very hot!
