Ebbs, flows & builds! Feels kinda funny to mention after chats of '77 Sugarees and Alaska a week away but this whole show is brilliant!

Terrapin Station
June 13, 1980
Seattle Center Coliseum

Rises from an earthly, eerie place, climbs to a wild, arcane battle. Surreal urgency after ridicous China-Rider-CC....

Seattle Center Coliseum

Holy Smokes! Rages and then gently glides into a hot China-Rider-CCRider-Terrapin.....

Drums into scorching Scarlet-Fire as Mt. St. Helen's erupts again! Say no more...

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!

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

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.....)
