Uptown Theater

This one has guts and a real slow percussive groove. Love it.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Ends a wonderful sequence (Terrapin -> Playin' -> Drums-> Lost Sailor-> Saint-> Wharf Rat) Jerry's definitely still feeling it in his solos; solid

Slow and stoney, great show and crystal-clear board to boot

Smoking hot, as many of the Big River's are after the hiatus. Check them all out.

Sugaree
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

This whole show is underrated -- it is a complete rocker from start to finish. The Sugaree here rivals 3-18, 5-19, and 4-29 for just exactly right, in my book. Splendid version, thanks for the tip KLAUS.

The Palladium

This one is very good, with Keith's experimentation on the polymoog adding something unexpected. Fires up to a nice crescendo as well. Worthy of a much higher place here, agreed.
Stella Blue

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Indeed. Unjust. Upped.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Brilliant pacing. Rivals any of the top dogs, for sure. Also, my new #1 for all-time, for now.

Roosevelt Stadium

Ignore the naysayers. This is a masterpiece in a league of its own. Listen and melt.
