UPtempo and full of piss and vinegar, just how I like them.

I gave this another, more thorough listen today and I really wish I could take away my UP vote. Don't really know what I was thinking. The verses are a fucking mess and everything after the 16-minute mark sounds like the shit they play in between songs when they're tuning/screwing around. No cohesion, just random noises and sounds.

Aww man, right at the "Gotten used to having you around" line, Bobby chokes up and it gets me every time. Not my favorite Rain but so damn emotive. ** Party foul - this was meant to be posted for the Looks Like Rain, same show. My apologies!

Welp, looks like I just broke a tie that I might be breaking again once I listen to 10/7/77. I'd only heard the Beautiful Jam from the SMR box, so it's awesome to hear this in the full context. It shimmers with beauty as they segue into it and features a slightly different arrangement than what it would become in later years.

It comes apart a bit at the end but Donna wails and Jerry plays like a man possessed.

Keith plays some stuff on the Polymoog in this one that's... interesting. Kinda sounds like splats.
