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.

Huntington Civic Center

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.

A decent Promised Land till the end, when the band just hits another gear completely, kicking off a superb show.

Listen to Jerry's backing vocals, you know what kind of mood he's in . . . Epic!

Monster Candyman. A highlight from a show full of exceptional performances. 07-18-76 . . . one of the band's finest moments.
