First off, my god, people are still commenting daily on Veneta, Englishtown, and May ‘77 like we didn’t get a prized new professional release just days ago. This show is lauded, for innumerable reasons, not least of which is this bonkers UJB with not just a fully realized DS Jam, but not one, but two TOO tease. Leads into a mouth of hell sounding drums sequence, then a Space, which of the era, sounds like the best musicians on the planet playing fart sounds on their instruments. Otherwise (than Space), this show and version are the best of the late era, and so happy they are on polished release. The whole box is so worthwhile and glad this show got the nod for vinyl release. Spread into IT

To echo sentiments above, this is everything you want in a late-peak ear dew. The emotiveness, the cathartic swell and fury, this one is fantastic

Great spacey mid jam with nice effects from Brent. Ramp up jam has excellent energetic interplay between Jerry and Brent. Underrated
