1970, this is new and the boys sound so full of energy and excitement. The whole show has just been reseeded on IA, worth a listen.

Ship of Fools
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Sorry to disagree, but Jerry's vocals throughout this show and night before are awful! Strained, often out of time and forced, even overly aggressive on some of the songs. Too much of whatever substance which didn't enhance the performance.
Eyes Of The World

Brilliant. Dreamy , delicate transition to Whatf Rat. Very beautiful. Listening to this today, May 22, 2023.
Hurts Me Too

Lille Fairgrounds

Listening to this just now( May 13 2023) . A song I love and this has been overlooked by me, but no more! A top 5 easily. Il est tres beau.
