9-26-81 War Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, N.Y.

This show starts of with a groovin' Shakedown Street->C.C. Rider opener. The Shakedown seems pretty fitting given that the auditorium wasn't in the nicest neighbourhood in town. They Love Each Other, Cassidy and Jack A Roe are all very well played while On The Road Again makes a nice appearance. Ramble On Rose is nice and has a rather laid back beat with the "New York City" line getting a huge cheer. Looks Like Rain is a good version as is the Brown-Eyed Women that follows. The Let It Grow is massive before giving way to Don't Ease Me In to end the set.

The second set has the unusual song pairing of Playing In The Band->Bertha->Estimated Prophet->Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad before going into Drums. Space is nice and we get a long slow burn of Not Fade Away out of it. Morning Dew is really good and featuring some great singing by Jerry before heading back into Playing In The Band. One More Saturday Night comes out of the very end of Playing and ends the second set while Johnny B. Goode is the encore.
