Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

I do love this.
Franklin's Tower

Winterland Arena

Beautiful stuff happens about halfway through this Franklin's.... part of a beastly sequence... Eyes-Dancin-Wharf Rat-Franklins-SugMag..... Not always one of the shows we talk about, when we talk about '77, but it should be up there!
Playin' In The Band

Baltimore Civic Center

Absolutely. Entire show, especially the China-Rider, and the Other One-Sing me Back Home... Gotta say, listening a lot to 3/19/77 last 2 days, and forgot how insanely brilliant the PITB is on that one....!! A Samson sandwich with an Estimated-Terrapin starter on the side, all in the first set..... And forget about Set 2..... Too much...

True!
Dancin' in the Streets
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Out of a fiery Eyes! One of the best Dancin's ever. 2nd set was on Sirius today and I'd forgotten how epic the entire sequence is, one long song called Eyes-Dancin-Wharf Rat-Franklin's-Sugar Mags, classic versions of each, after an insanely epic first set (with a Terrapin-Playin-Samson-Playin first set closer.....)
