Playin' In The Band
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum
this might be the most playin-est playin of 77... has everything you need. Here are my listening notes:
4/22 comes out swinging… jazzy drums, rolling tempo, spacy weirdness from keith, rolicking energy… def earlier dead vibes… yessss… rips apart with some tiger action. V strong synth and phil energy pulsing underneath, subsides nicely… i like it, quintessential deadness, interesting segment arabesque major key? Crack in the cosmos a bit here, settles back into reality, kalliope space returns swirling upwards, walking up the stairs to something just out of reach, float into space, this sounds familiar, and we’re back
Theres absolutely no reason this should be so low. stands out above all the rest from 77
