Looks Like Rain

No doubt there's a little schmaltz factor on the lyrics and all, but Bobby and Donna just wash over you on this one like a wave of lovely heartache.

Rabble-rousing banger here. Jerry kicks it up and up and the crowd just loves it.

Totally overlooked. One of the sweetest of the year. Rolls in at almost 6 min, closing a beaut set. I'm setting this to auto replay now. Check it out!

Overlooked! Comes out of a smokin' LIG and has that smokey, slinky, silky smolder of the best of '76.

Samson and Delilah

More and more I'm convinced that the earliest Samsons are the best. So confident, so full of strut and swagger. Any other era with such consist force?

Not Fade Away

Short but oh-so fine, after the great jam before. Check out how Pigpen sounds he's having a spiritual epiphany on this one.

Going to have to upvote this one. Not only are the Darkness and Stephen jams just hella delicious, but they come out of a superfine AWBYG-outro that just kills me. You can hear how good they felt by the NFA chaos that comes straight after.

Long, exploratory rap and great vibe. This show needs some attention, bigtime.
The Other One

Deserves a clean-up, bigtime. This, and the Dew are fully epic. It isn't just the energy, which is buried there under the AUD flaws, but the communication between them as they move seamlessly across different landscapes. They're tight and balsy, kicking this one off in a way that deserves a lot more love.

Cgarces: will try to find this, but presently not on the archive and I don't have the DP version. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the tip.
