The slower tempo here lets Jerry and Keith stretch out some during their solos.

Startled not to find this here. Def. best of Palladium run, and can stand toe to toe with the rest of the month.

fantastic version with great Bobby/Donna. Everyone else is just trying to match their emotional performances.

Just more stellar May '77 balladry.

I agree with the comments on Set II. I was a long time fan of the "NFA" from Barton Hall, but this might top it...

Would love an AUD or matrix of this...

Listened to this on NYE. Dimly remember some sweet major-chord jamming, something that got dark, some electronic jamming that scared me (maybe the trippiest thing I've ever heard), and coming out of it through the "Eyes" and "China Doll. Powerful stuff.

Wow, nice version. Just streamed part of the show before and after this, and I'm going to need to revisit this in a serious way. Heard there's a top-notch matrix of this, working on the download now... (edit) This is a superior version. Doesn't lose its place or get self-indulgent.
