This EP is 'just exactly perfect'. Jerry's curlicue soloing over tight ensemble playing in a dramatic rising arc.

Me and My Uncle

Ohio Theatre

Bobby puts on the snarling spiteful chaw and the band is lightning tight. The banter after is fun too.

Avalon Ballroom

Quite beautiful and melodic, surprisingly. Perfectly transitions from the outrageous chaos of Caution into the sweet soothing balm of an AWBYG.

Uncle John's Band

Winterland Arena

Lot's of love here for the intro... but damn did you guys make it to the outro? The intro starts like silky gossamer and ends like a seven-cylinder jackhammer. It has that nice virtuoso '77 clean feeling while keeping the grit-in-the-gears and hard rocking energy.

Maybe it suffers a bit in comparison to the outrageous excellence of both the first and second set jams? The transition from Franklin's is a bit wobbly - and it takes getting to the first solo for it to really pick up steam, with the Devils driving it back on track for the win.

Up-tempo, but not rushed. Keith is brilliant throughout, complimenting Jerry's endless wingspan.
Samson and Delilah
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Soul-sizzling church here. The first half of PiTB noodles and swirls, but by the time Samson comes along they are all swagger and strength. This one is a colossus on its own, but part of an outrageous 1st set sammy it's become one of my top Samsons of all time.
Terrapin Station

Still brand-spankin' new, but they really found their stride here to kick off this outrageous extended jam to close out the first set. This strikes me as the first one to really convey the anthemic triumph outro.
