First set opener, I really dig the MDs os this era. Still kind of sturdy and brisk but becoming the majestic ballad that it was in the 70s/80s.

Morning Dew

Alexandra Palace

OK I may have backed off some of the claims above, particularly Dark Star which I love the hell out of but isn't my current #1 for 1974 (I think I'm back to 2-24, but Montana is freaky). And 1/2 Step I may have over-egged. The rest is pretty solid commentary. I will say this is still my favorite pre-hiatus Morning Dew, and I prefer this DS>MD to 10-18, but of course there is a lot of stiff competition. I guess I just feel that this show is under-valued for some reason (even though it's highly valued!).
