I had the great fortune of working security in front of the stage for this show. Very quickly the crowd kept pushing up to the stage squishing the people in the front. A young lady who was tripping her a** of decided she wanted to get up on stage with the band. During Tennesse Jed, stage security head made a decision to extract her from the crowd. While doing so she hit me over the head with her large purse which contained a metal container.

Really enjoyed rehearsal with Brent on 4/16/79. Jerry noodle-ing into different keys and giving Brent space to explore...Then, starting with the 4/22/79 show we get to hear, with Brent on keys, the tunes get to evolve all over again with the new keyboards. In the 70's songs were developed on stage over time...and so here that continues. How lucky are we for all the people who recorded these shows

Drove down from NY for thisshow. General admission when they opened the doors my feet didnt touch the ground for about 50 yards. Luckily we ended up in a good spot left center a few rows off the stage.
