Can't get behind this one - the drums are simply out-of-sync. To me, there is no groove. Too bad, b/c the rest of song does sorta cook. Excellent show overall, too.

High in quality. A spring in its step.

New Haven Coliseum

Happy re-acquaintance! Or Re-happy-acquaintance! Or Hap-Rippy-Paloma-Snake! Best of May 1977? Probably not, but who cares? The margins are slim. Either way, we're in the black.

Has everything you need. Bananas show, in general. Smokin' version.
