Last ever use of the "Sweet Suzie" line...I think. Subdued, but there. Nice version taboot.

odd spacy intro. a tad slower and much less predecitable than latter era versions. smooth as 18 y/o scotch.

The Ace is strong with this one.

Looping, relaxed yet intricate 76 version that, as indicated, melts into a lovely Comes a Time. Not exactly high-energy, but it's not all unicorns and rainbows either. The jam has a nice little edge to it...almost like a really mellow Other One.

Bobby is all OVER this one doing Bobby stuff on the guitar, and I mean that in the best possible way. Outstanding.
St. Stephen

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

First time I heard this St. Stephen emerge from the ether I jumped out of my chair...the grace of 77 mixed with the big, hairy rock-and-roll balls of 78.
