About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

Fillmore West

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Testify! A speedy, fluent outro eventually hits a great peak.

The first solo is unreal, a slow burn to a thunderous conclusion. I put this one on the top of '77, which I can see is not the way most others rank it. It is nevertheless clearly on par with the spring '77 Sugarees which most would agree was a consistently excellent period for the song.

The aud for this one might as well be a different song. The sounds that are most prevalent to the listener here evoke all the things to go with the feeling of being in the crowd and that sense is not there with the board. A good call, as usual.

Hampton must have been a great place to tape. I know you like that Jim Wise 5/1/81 AUD and I do too - it's a great tape. That is one example where the AUD is clearly better than the corresponding SBD. I'll dig deep into this Cobo AUD tomorrow.

I missed this the couple of other times you posted on it. The tease is excellent - clear as a bell, but they never leave NFA. I listened to the FM Sbd (https://archive.org/details/gd1976-10-03.fmsbd.jerugim.248.shnf/gd76-10-03iipt07.shn), but I will give this another listen tomorrow on a run and I'll try that aud.
