Capitol Theatre

By 76 this song was definitely tested, worn in, so on Slip they seriously just go. Extremely heady youtube of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEA5zgNk0ec That groove bobby instigates at 10:26, the rippling tidal waves of Mickeys virtuosic cymbal work, phil n bil bombing and crunching and jerry's mockingbird wail, an important early slip in new jersey, franklin's is jazzy immediate and punchin', just resplendent! /// What an amazing sound 76 has, so patient and exploratory.
