Airplay perfect. Seems like they wanted to pick up the pace a bit and this one is just fine and dandy.

Don't shut off the after the LIG>DitS>CC! This version just keeps on giving - great jam all 'round.

Muscular and confident, not at all dragging. Don't overlook it. It's brilliant and perfect coming in a blazingly good show and great 2nd set.

This one cooks. Keith puts on a master class of the old razzle dazzle.

Sugaree
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Keith is glorious throughout this beauty. I'll admit when I see a 14 minute Sugaree there's a part of me that says 'uh-oh, hope it doesn't drag....' But this is just pristine throughout: Hot jams, clear ideas and solos, with mindbending guitar effects that think are the first-ever for their kind. And that Godchaux fella tickling the keys. Nice one!

After two shaky songs to start the first set Bobby comes steaming in with this beauty.
Morning Dew

For any era for Morning Dews this is top shelf. Drops on the heads out of nowhere, capping off a good - but not necessarily great - 2nd set.
Dark Star

Capitol Theater

Music to practice levitation to. Also the best damn Rat Sandwich you'll probably ever eat.

The 'bell-ringing' chimes section of the last solo before the out-chorus is top notch, but this one otherwise drags a bit to start.
