Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

There was nothing like a Terrapin in the Garden! Into drums-quick-weird-almost-Close Encounters-Spanish Jam-rip-roaring Truckin' in the Garden....

Absolutely unique and cool. His Mu-tron wah wah or whatever in tarnation it was Jerry was pressing on builds beautifully and gets us back to Tennessee in fine fashion. Followed by a perfect Minglewood, perfect Row Jimmy, amidst a just about exactly perfect show from May of 1977. Go figure!!!!!

One of the best China-Riders of '74, which means this is sacred, epic, profound and thoroughly rip-roaring fun.
