ambitious, abstract, and involved in the multi-dimensional trappings. Plenty of curiosity but tethered to that amazing 2nd-set logic

Wharf Rat
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Jerry interrupts bill and mickey's drum solo at its peak with the slow, plaintive strumming of Wharf Rat, like we are doing a vaudeville or marx brothers bit. The version itself is amazing, nothing held back on the "i'll get up and fly away", and expansively vicious jamming. One of their best songs, period
Drums

Memorial Coliseum

Very nice 5-minute drum solo in between a mellow, ambient PITB and a wharf rat. The rubato, pulse-less feel throughout encourages both to be very sparse and experimental, building to awesome rolls and raucous stuff. Very musical, very thoughtful, very awesome Drums - another piece of this absolutely insane May 77 gig (all you have to say is May 77 and it's guaranteed to be dispensary, designer kush).

maybe the best of these? Idk, every single version from this year is so good. Using the dusborne Matrix for this by the way, very nice.
