Early Playin'>MHUT>Big River>Playin' sandwich. Worth it for the surprise bigbang key-changer from River into the wildassed 2nd Playin'.

Let It Grow
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Liberated from the Horn Section, the boys let 'er rip. Standard fare until about 6:30, then Jer and Keith just explode into full immensity.

Cumberland Blues

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Up and jumping, fast and precise version in spite of a few sound quality problems.

Sound quality may prevent some from appreciating this show, but don't miss this one. Bobby gives it everything, everyone goes nuts behind him.

Sing Me Back Home
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

Forgotten or overlooked, but melts-in-your-mouth sweet. More of a triumphant blues than the gospel beauties from '72.

Tomorrow Coast To Coast with Tom Synder

What a rare treat. Sweet video of the performance on the "Tomorrow Show": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chADQBmosEQ.

Agree with Ernie5 - this is right in the sweet spot for the development of the song. Jerry's coda solo is a wild ride through the scrambled madness of the narrator. Bobby's voice in the C.Miller clean-up (I didn't get the box set!) is smoky and beautiful. For me this song has always been *the* emblem of '77 perfection and here it is on display.

Sweet treat indeed. Jerry's voice is perfectly rescued in the C.Miller upgrade, and the band is a graceful waterfall behind him.

Nice angular sparkle to the whole jam here.

Hot streak. This and the NMB before it just come ready to party. We know in retrospect the wall-to-wall peaks from April-May '77 but can you put yourself in the scene and imagine thinking... what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck just happened? Weren't these guys mellow just a few months ago?
