Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Greek Theater

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Samson and Delilah

Winterland Arena

Hell yeah, poker-hot and habanero chili burning stuff, crowds brains must have been on the ground hearing basically the whole unreleased terrapin album (incl dancin', later on)
Playin' In The Band
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Wondrously blissed out jazzy plane ride halfhour sandwich with Samson. All the playing contained in these flying passages is just seminal gd. 10/10 pitb
Terrapin Station
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Hymnal, patient, soarin'! Classic early terrapin
Uncle John's Band
