What a treat. Why is this show undervalued? C'mon folks, don't let a good AUD scare you. This is a beaut, with the crowd part of the party.

Highlight from the first set. Keith sets it on fire. Jerry is in top form.

The '76 ones ted to plod along a bit too much for my taste, but Jerry tears this one right up with a good shitkickin' solo and great tone.

Continues the run of perfect Mamas from the Summer tour. This one is short and sweet, perfect vocals.

Full of strut. The band is in perfect form, everyone is on. Precise, strong, and full of swagger.

Jerry's tone on this is dialed all the way in. Really special soloing on this one.

Powerful. Perfectly executed. The track list for the complete show on the archive is off by one song, so it has Comes a Time coming in at an extraordinary 36 minutes and 28 seconds, which is pretty funny when you think about it. In any case, they really pull this one off beautifully, even if it's a mere 6:40....

Well I guess just like Bobby on this version, sometimes people just fuck up the words.
Chinatown Shuffle

Coming off of an extraordinarily energetic Playin', this one has an extra oomph with the tempo just a bit higher, and Billy's back beat kicking it forward with a great, almost reckless driving pulse.

Absolutely in need of more votes. If you listen carefully, you can hear exactly when they break the badassery barrier. Jerry shreds like a man possessed, Keith is brilliant, Billy all over it, and of course Bobby and Donna are in perfect sync.
