Keith and Donna on this are just wonderful. Strong version all around, but Keith's fillis are just outta sight.

Intensity encapsulated in the middle of a TOO jam outta this world. Here's as good an example of the cowboy psychedelicore Winter '71 as you can find.

A bit faster and carried along with a strong backbeat from Mr. K. makes this one special. Perfect ensemble singing arrangement too.

Dec '71 NFA-GDTRFB-NFAs are all powerful statements of the band's essential unity. I love how China Cat peaks out atcha during the jams.

Nice long stretched out version with sparkling Keith accents throughout the long, lucid, solos showcasing Jerry at his clear-headed best. Don't let the AUD fool you. This is worth the ride. The transition to Samson is pretty weird for a few moments, like they were going into something else or a totally new territory before landing on it.

Who has a working link to the video??? Every link mentioned on the Archive comments, e-tree, and setlists.net all appear to be broken. I looove this show, and wouldn't give it a C audio quality. Arguably a B- though, so agreed it may explain the lack of love. This is a great transitional Dancin' full of wah wah and a long Bobby + Jerry dippin' and gliding, slippin' and slidin' transition vamp outro. Fun fun dance along stuff.

Not sure I agree with Catalonia: The pre-and post-Rio-grande solos are both brilliant. Jerry builds a recurrent rhythmic theme higher and higher up to the emotional breakthrough. He knows exactly what he's doing and the band is tight behind him all the way. Great '77 stuff here folks, and don't let the AUD scare you off.

If there's a video post the link please! This is a hot version for sure, with a big anthemic out-chorus to close out the set. Love this energy, but with some AUD issues suffers by proximity to some of the other shows of the 'peak '77' era.
