1974 and Ship of Fools go together like peanut butter and jelly. Full of emotion. They're really giving their all in this.

Like the breaking of a dam, this just flows at a truly ferocious pace. Jerry is relentless in his playing, the second solo will knock your socks off.

Any '74 version of this tune is a treat. Incredibly lovely with great Keith lines. Billy sways.

Definitive for its time. The soundcheck gave us a preview, here's the full thing. Solid version.

Just a damn near perfect performance. Shocked not to see this one submitted. One of MANY highlights from this show.

This is pretty bonkers not gonna lie, stellar version that cools you off after that deep and dark The Other One while still making you feel like you’re walking the tightrope. Love love love this version and how light yet heavy it can be. Don’t wanna be that guy but don’t listen to Nog. Let your ears decide! Love to all

Really should be higher, I’m not even that much of an estimated fan but this version is really heartfelt, great energy here!

Yeah this is it, check it out folks you won’t regret it. I’ll let the music speak for itself.

Brent really gives new life to the band and this performance is a perfect example of this. One of my personal non 77 performances of this tune. Stellar keyboard playing that’s something out of a sci fi sequence and then you have Jerry turning into a intergalactic cyborg with incredible dance chops. Great dancin!
