An immortal. Very experimental, so many melodic fragments amongst the splintered cosmos - they pull a surprise out of the hat. Check it out.

Fox Theatre

Buried in the extraterrestrial outer reaches of an immortal TOO this emerges, brings a 'how's they do that?!' vibe then disappears back into chaos.

Smokin' hot show opener. The band is ultra tight and kick things off with force.

Palais Des Sports

Looser than 18.09.74, but more intense in its buildup and climax. Wait for it, it slow-rises then comes on like a tsunami.

Sweet gossamer comedown nicely after the angular intensity of Eyes. Jerry's voice is smooth and lovely.

Nice grooving energy and beautiful vocals. No dragging here.

There's so much greatness in this show and this version is right up there. Is the date overshadowed a bit by 15.02 and 09.02? For my ears they came together just right on the combined sweetness and mega-groove of HCS right here.
