Shocked that this came so soon subsequently the extravagant porch crusher. That said, $129 is much easier for the credit card to take so I have, yet again, dutifully ordered.
Was just going to post this!
What is the opinion of these detail shows?
In some ways, I prefer '78 to '77.
Perfect summer listening!

Ordered upwards! $139.93 with shipping. That'south $eleven.66 a disc, or $1.42 per song, for those doing the math at home.
These are all great shows. I count the Ruby Rocks 78 equally some of the finest shows always played.
Can't he do those videos somewhere where it isn't windy for once?
"Limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies, ..."
What'south the alternative for numbering? Some copies become 3 numbers, while other copies become none?

'78 is somewhere in the middle of the pack for me, and I have gotten kinda used to / spoiled by the upgrade appeal of multitracks. But the price per show isn't bad. Will probably look difficult at the FLAC download.

Haven't watched the video withal, just in case he didn't mention it, the 7/8 prove appears to be getting its own release.
budwhite Climb the mountains and become their good tidings.

Ruddy Rocks is awesome and rugged(information technology's '78!) and I just placed my order.
(take not heard the other shows and I've never really read virtually them either)

If I call back, that time frame had some killer Other Ones. There are 3 Wharf Rats in this run, outset, of course by 4 Effectually & Arounds.
Yeah because he might get distracted or ramble
Great. I simply might get me a copy.
I'm not a large fan of 1978 in general. I think of it as the speedball yr, a mix of some members nodding out and others too jacked up to hear their boyfriend players. That said, the Red Rocks shows are outstanding past any measure. I'chiliad in.
This is about 6 or vii months earlier Keith and Donna were out of the band? I dare say they were feeling no pain. Finish of an era for certain.
Yes, Bobby and Donna had an inappropriate corporeality of energy on occasion. There are some rough Round and Round and Playin's in this time frame for sure. Only when they were on, it was magic.
