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.

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!!!!!

Jai-Alai Fronton

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