You'll hear voices and see faces in this abstract assault which showcases exceptional group interplay. Bertrando's AUD is VG+.

I always thought that Summer '74 was the best period for this tune but this version is sick.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 9, 1979
Memorial Auditorium

Sweet! I love the sound of that young Tiger. Lacey and dreamy solo with enough oomph, here and there, for contrast. Very nice rendition overall. Be sure to check out 4/16/78 for another version which features thrilling exploits on high-tension wires.
Ramble On Rose

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Yup, impassioned vocals and a nice solo that rambles wonderfully through the changes.
Terrapin Station
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Fantastic and undeservedly overlooked.

Darkstar67: I haven't yet listened to this show! It's one of those that, like a special wine or some good bud, I'm saving for later. And it does have some company in certain other legendary shows that I'm sitting on, as well. Something to wonder about and look forward to! Anyway, it's good to see that it has yet another feather in its cap in the form of a big NFA, as the NFA from 4/22/78 is one of my personal favorites.
