More insane back and forth between Bobby and Jerry and Brent.

Really rips. Wish there were finer copies of this show, but compared to how we used to listen on 23rd generation TDK tapes...LOL! S'all good....

Great American Music Hall

Like the Help-Slip-Frank on this night, this is just about as close to perfection as they've ever been, which is always a bit Weird, when they really don't miss a note. Definitely a toss up between this and the Beacon.... But I might love the Beacon a little more for it's roughness!!!

For some crazy reason, I'll always take this (and a whole bunch of others) over the Great American, which is so perfect, I know. But maybe that's why... Great American is just a little... too perfect.... Absurd, I know!!!
Pretty Peggy O

WoW!!! Great beauty. As is 5/9/77. Totally amazing. Still gotta say 9/3/77 is the greatest Peggy-O ever (DP 15). Like most great ones, it doesn't have just a few powerful moments. It's powerful throughout. One of the few versions of anything I can say is my absolute, all time favorite (along with the Half Step from that show, and the He's Gone-NFA....). Sick show. A lot of Heads from the Bronx at that one in Englishtown...

Scorching.
He's Gone

One of the best. Coda chant with the crowd will send chills. Less than a week after dedicating it to Bobby Sands this one goes out to Bob Marley. A different sort of version, just as powerful, with a different sort of jam into drumz. Wild and mellow. Very cool sorta Miracle-Other-Jam. Magnificent.
