Pure mad mental, as we used to say in Scotland. WOW, they really just let rip. Good track to dance to if you need to work of some high energy

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.

The Sportatorium

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

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.
