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

Lights a fire under my heart, unbelievably unstoppable, sick, mighty version of the wharf rat

Windy watery contrapuntal, phat thick Eyes. Throw yer hands up
Estimated Prophet
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Pan-seared calimari crispy. Weir howls his crystal-clear poetic gesticulations like Poseidon surfing in hell. Dope ass organ
Friend of the Devil
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Post-Gershwin and Scott Joplin explorations on Keith's end and the vocals have got so much soul on this tasty slow devil
Terrapin Station
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Notable barnstormer Terrapin with some chomp and highway, Route Spring 77 vigor and might!
