Great interplay and hot jam in every combination in the birth month of the great quintet. Forgotten show.

Not my favorite song, but this one rocks. Plus Jerry eviscerates a heckler after.

Goddamned hard crunching rocker here. Jerry's guitar is so sharp it sounds like breaking glass (in a good way).

They really push down on the 10/4 melodic form here, giving it a "The Main Ten" feel lost soon after. KG's 1st month is full of transition Playin's.

Masterpiece. The Jam out of drums into the first verse is inventive and exploratory, very subtle interplay. Totally overlooked. Dig it.

Amazing. Just heard the whole show for the first time. Several greats throughout the show, but this is the kind of dazzling Stephen that got me on the bus and kept me there. They took their vitamins that night!

Great energy. Drives into a cool "Close Encounters" solo Jerry Jam.

Kicks into a raging high-energy epic around 07:45 This is what used to blow me out of my boots at the shows back in the day. Wish I could have been there for this one.

Just infinite. Midway into the jam Jer hits a riff, then settles on it, then brings everyone in on it. Collective massive jamming. Great Jack Straw on this show, too. Sorry for the double posting!
