Bobby tells us "it''s time for your Sunday sermon" but it's Brent that's all over this smoking version.

Not on Archive but one hell of a barnburner. Check Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmN0mFHDH2w

Following a rare St Stephen, they're pulling out all the stops in an explosively cacophonous mid jam

Ayuh, this here is a wicked rippah.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 25, 1974
Campus Stadium, UCSB
Starts off sounding a little ragged but by the outro jam into the transition, Jerry has sidestepped our reality and entered one of his own. Insane jamming right through Rider as the band gamely hangs on to Jerry's flying shirt tails. Billy's drumming is a thing of beauty
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Why, in the name of all that's Heady, is this languishing in the basement? I'd stack this against almost any of the '77 versions sitting in the top 10 spots.

Wow! I ended up listening to this on Youtube by mistake and Hot Damn! For years I've ignored almost everything post Brent.....thereby cheating myself out of killer jams like this one. This whole show is pretty crunchy.

Reckon there was a reason to play this 2 nights in a row. Like they dipped into the well the night before but didn't drink their fill. A touch more laid back than the previous night but a monster nonetheless. I favor this one of the two.
