Strong finish to a great first set at a strangely overlooked show...

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Fillmore West

This wasn't played on the 27th...
They Love Each Other
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

I prefer the fast versions, so I disagree with this being #1, but it is undoubtedly a great version and one of the best of the slow versions.

^Yeah, it is a strong Keith version. Whole-heartedly agree that it shouldn't be #1 though -- that honour belongs to 5/17/77 Tuscaloosa IMO.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

This is sometimes a "meh" song for me (although it's been growing on me recently), but this version wowed me today.

Great version and a great little solo from Keith!
