Lickety split drummer precision here and a stylin' strut in the heart of a great 2nd set.

Solid shitkicker. "As usual, dedicated to our equipment crew". Lol, Bobby.

Sweet slow buildup to an explosion of emotion and Jer's flying guitar work. A strong version.

Powerful version. Is the only reason it's not yet here because only AUDs exist? Jeez Heads, get it together!

Dane County Coliseum

Sparkling, effervescent, crystal clear and overflowing with inspiration. This one soars on wings a mile long, lifts off like sparkling light dancing on the ripples on the calm, powerful, and open sea. Certainly it's one of the great beauties. Cool comments Heads: I like "This is why and how" - Thanks Wookie.

Feelin' Groovy Jam

They stretch this out and really take off in the FGJ, like a chemical reaction slowly churning up, then building to a bubbling musical overflow.
El Paso

The honkytonk first set is perfected here. Jerry is possessed, galloping 100 mph behind, around, above, and in-between Bobby's flawless delivery. El Paso never gets enough love... but you can tell they're just having a blast here.
Mexicali Blues

Kiel Auditorium

Follows straight out of a very western-swinging Deal and holds onto the desperado theme. Some folks find this show to be a bit too mellow, a bit slower tempo for an era filled with electrifying whirligigs, but this Mexicali shows how well they could sync together at any speed, at any energy level during this peak era.
