In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

Long and smooth version.

Selland Arena

One of the most interesting versions with all members on, except Jerry, who plays more supportive than lead. Strong solo by Phil in which Keith plays off of him very well. A good example of "when Phil is on the band is on".

This is a keeper version. Good energy with more than one peak.
Blues For Allah

Rainbow Theater

an interesting version, too bad it's difficult to find nice clean copies and versions of this concert as it's worth a listen. Anwar Sadat was assassinated on this date, which I'm sure resulted in this being played. Jerry is good but a bit subdued in his song selection. For the 2nd set here are his songs - High Time, He's Gone, The Wheel, Stella Blue and Brokedown Palace.
