Comments:

This show has it's rough spots. Unfortunately, one of them is "Tons Of Steel". Brent didn't have his best singing voice on that day.
But lemme tell ya what... all the rough edges disappear when the audience carries "Not Fade Away" on into the encore. Good GOD what a Band!

this show is pretty terrible. It's funny, because you can hear almost every song in this show being played in the other two shows - the band stuffed all the leftovers into this show, and well, let's say by this time they were sort of tired, especially after the first show of the run (blew their load on the first show and the shakedown in the 2nd show).

Typical FM broadcast. Pulling out the "hits" Touch, Truckin, Bucket ect

This show is a bit weak, but the run itself was a ton of fun, especially the first night's blow-out.

Wizards!

Inspiration indeed!

Not the best show of the run, but a really good time nonetheless, in my opinion. Yeah, it's all the "hits", but sometimes that's what I want.

Yes, most of the show is "average." The Sugaree though is one of the best ever.
