You can hear the swagger in their mutterings before they play. And the performance bears that out. Sure, smooth, and effortless.

Letter perfect - the Godchauxs take this to a loftier level. Beautiful dynamic push-and-pull by the whole group.

Dane County Coliseum

Prime real estate. Great pace - as good as it gets in '78. At the level of the best '77s.

Swing Auditorium

The drums are ON IT!
The Other One
