Seattle Center Coliseum

Rocks & roars, fast & sweet, out of deep space & eerie Terrapin, soars into healthy Wharf Rat...

Ebbs, flows & builds! Feels kinda funny to mention after chats of '77 Sugarees and Alaska a week away but this whole show is brilliant!

Terrapin Station
June 13, 1980
Seattle Center Coliseum

Rises from an earthly, eerie place, climbs to a wild, arcane battle. Surreal urgency after ridicous China-Rider-CC....

Holy Smokes! Rages and then gently glides into a hot China-Rider-CCRider-Terrapin.....

Lovely!! Bobby (on the slide) starts chasing Jerry….. Jerry just picks up the pace, and Bobby does his best to keep up!!

Meadowlands Arena

And yet….. Spencer Davis’ guitar sounds a bit like Jorma!?! Lol! Very good! Crazy fun show! And yeah… With Bruce and Brent. Very very cool!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

The bridge jam is classic ‘74, but what might set this apart from a lot of others at the time is Jerry’s “headlight roar,” which is so reminiscent of the 80s…..

Capitol Theater

Super-charged and fantastic!! We take these Sugar Mags (and a lot of these shows!) for granted. But seriously, this is so full of vim and vigor and Pig’s keyboards are ballistic, wrapped around Jerry’s wah-wah!!! Just sitting there in the middle of a second set, with so much more high-powered rock and roll to come!!
Attics of My Life

Orpheum Theatre

Agreed. Pristine guitar and piano work from Jerry and Keith. Kinda hard to find but so amazingly sweet.
