Jerry’s vocals as heartbreaking as ever. Gorgeous, lilting.

At times pretty, at times a little weird, but somewhere past 8 minutes, it's downright gorgeous...

I do love this.

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...

Dancin' in the Streets

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.....)
