I've only seen Jorma once, on July 14, 1979 in Asbury Park NJ. While my buddies and I we really enjoyed the acoustic set, we actually left halfway through the electric set, as the band seemed to be jamming endlessly, with little direction or purpose. That may have reflected the fact that Jorma was a bit directionless at the time, even experimenting with some punk music, which was far removed from his musical roots. 

In any event, this excellent audience recording captures Jorma at his acoustic best, with a little help from John Sebastian, at the legendary Bottom Line on on August 8, 2003,, 18 years ago today.
