If you like 11/6 11/9 11/25 I can't see how you miss this cold blooded killer

Kieth and Donna's last Straw and it's almost as extreme as any from winter '79

The Spectrum

A night after the concensus number one and it's finnally getting exposure. The recording is AUD too. Rhythm guitar and applouse!

IF you dig the Straw>Franklin's opening than the ending of this set will leave you satisfied. Now available is durable SBD

Sugaree
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This is an objective and non-biased take I agree with KSU. Pre-'76 Sugarees can be enjoyable but it should be against the rules to present any early 70s Sugaree as a candidate for 'best' ever. ;)
Terrapin Station
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Other than mixing up the dates (Terrapin was played on 1/11 not 1/10) I couldn't agree more, This Terrapin is a beat down! No pussy soothing/sparkly noise, Just thunder and fear here
Terrapin Station

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

This is my kind of Terrapin it's more exiting that the top 3 combined! If you dig this one check out other greats from 78 1/11!, 1/18, 1/31, 4/11, 10/18, and 11/1/77 belongs with this group
Ramble On Rose

Cal Expo

I deleted it. Too much personal chatting. Your best bet is to just browse my list of submissions and comments and unless noted I enjoy the entire show. Every song i post about has my stamp of excellence haha. 1/18/78 has been slaying me today, maybe start there? Great 1/2 Step, Straw, All Over Now, Row Jimmy, LL>Supp, Terrapin>PITB, Estimated>Stella and Sugar Mags. Jerry's guitar tone is one of a yodeling grizzly bear
Franklin's Tower
Dec. 31, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

I like it even better than 11/9/79s
