3-27, 28-89 The Omni, Atlanta, GA


Spring 1989 starts at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia and the first set opens with a good Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo->Walkin' Blues. Next up are good versions of the new songs Built To Last and We Can Run. Queen Jane Approximately is very nice and Brent gets a nice synth piano solo. Candyman is very nice with the band in good voices and Jerry takes a great solo while Cassidy spaces out nicely. Touch Of Grey makes for a rare first set ender and is well played.


The Scarlet Begonias->Fire On The Mountain is very good and features some well played jams. Estimated Prophet->Eyes Of The World->Drums is good with the Estimated Prophet being the standout. Space->The Wheel is fantastic and leads into a great I Need A Miracle which leads into another then new song, Standing On The Moon. Turn On Your Lovelight ends the second set in a strong fashion with a hot U.S. Blues.


The second show opens with hot versions of Let The Good Times Roll->Franklin's Tower->Feel Like A Stranger. Stagger Lee comes next and features a great crescendo at the end. Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again is tonight's Dylan cover and is nicely played with Bob getting most of the lyrics. Ramble On Rose is upbeat with a good jam and everybody sounding inspired. Let It Grow is tasty and runs into a nice Don't Ease Me In.


Samson And Delilah sounds uneven to me while Ship Of Fools is another noteworthy performance. Playing In The Band has a good jam and is the second time since '77 that it would be played complete without leading into another song. This would also be the last time that it would happen. A good Foolish Heart starts on the end of Playing and leads into Drums->Space. Gimmie Some Lovin' out of space is very well played as is Wharf Rat->Throwing Stones->Not Fade Away and the encore of Box Of Rain.
