Been a long time, but I've been checking opinions here and as always, listening. As of late, I've been zeroed in on Crazy Fingers. I esp. like the opening. When they were on, it was some sweet music.
So my question to you all, whats you're favorite Crazy Fingers?
Have a great holiday weekend.

However I have always felt iCF could have used one less "verse" section, but the lyrics are all so good , I don't know what I would trim !
But I am nit picking, mostly love it .

Flow and JOTS are correct, the '76 performances are the best (or either from 1975). 7/13/76 is nice as well.
Some folks will soon be chiming in on how good the Crazy Fingers' from the late 80's and 90's were, but pay them no mind...

They aren't half bad, but those intros...they're almost all terrible. Way too short, and often pretty darn sloppy. Though the outro jams do often provide something to offer, they're nothing like you'll find in 1976.
I'm mainly just talking about 1982 here, but I would say that overall I think I feel the same way about any post-76 Crazy Fingers.

Again, one more factor in the overall equation as to why Bob actually owes me money for my obviously critical role in their success during this time period. I think I even "wished" Donna right out of the band...however, I take no responsibility for any album cover artwork post Blues for Allah, as I was concentrating entirely on snakes when somehow Hunter turned my musings on limbless tetrapods into a melodramatic song about their ancient shelled brethren banging tamborines on a backwoods Appalachian Porch.

After a few Crazy Fingers, it seems I like '76 after all.
