feels good to get lost in a good fluid jed, the light at end of the tunnellin' jokester's mountain. Barrelhouse vince, weir and lesh and fire jer bear

Playin' In The Band
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

massively underrated. Sound quality is stunning on Charlie Miller's transfer. simmers for a while in jungle fusion land, the four-limbed beast going strong. Keith's Moog is totally wack job. Goes into some Spanish Jam esque stuff. this is for sure an overlooked PITB that shows that the tune still had some mileage after the one-drummer years.
