A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

Are you kidding me? Obviously, the Deadaverse hasn't listened to this one, or it would be in the top 10. Musically, this is pretty much flawless. It also has a calypso-like feel too, which makes it extra dancable.

For a while I thought JG was playing JBGoode. NIce to hear after that sublime Dew.

I'm very partial to 10/18/74, but goodness gracious people! Extra points for the finale, which will leave your booties smoking.

Hey, I like JG's swinging approach on this night. It follows a Scar-Fire that doesn't get much love. This night was chill. The sound on the box set is good, a Betty Board, by the way.

Huh. I don't remember listening to this one. It is most excellent and I cannot add anything new to the comments here. I'm going to have to compare this with 2/26/77, which is one of my all-time favorite shows (well, maybe because I was at that one).
