Fast and furious, with Keith killing it!

Excellent conclusion to a Wharf Rat > I Need a Miracle > Bertha > Good Lovin'. From Road Trips Vol. 1, No. 1. Finishes with an energetic flourish.

The "May 1977" box set has wonderful versions of Looks Like Rain - this one on the 11th and two other great ones on the 13th and 17th. Bob and Donna's beautiful vocals plus Jerry's cascading playing in the background = LLR heaven.

Like the rest of this show, it's worth listening to Keith because he is killing it. His playing in '71 and '72 is so remarkable. I don't think he lost it after that (there was plenty of good playing in the years to come), but he just seemed like his own force in those early years. Carrion_Crow, thank you for that perfect description of Cumberland, it is like a coal car speeding out of control! I love how it seems like it all might fall apart but doesn't. I remember listening to my first Cumberland from Europe '72 and marveling at how nuts things get by around the 1:30 point of the track. Great stuff! Also stick around for Phil and Bob sending a message on behalf of the fire marshall for people to stay out of the aisles. Made me laugh anyway.

Keith sounds like he's playing in a saloon, and I love that sound. Seems to mostly take place in his early years of '71-'72.

I swear it sounds like Morning Dew is about to start a couple times near the end of Drums, which is a pretty cruel tease! A cool Drums/Space though, not something I'm always into but I like this one.

Great energy, great show! Worth a listen to the whole thing.
