Comes A Time
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

5/09/77 is the best one overall with Jerry blissful vocals and the more emotional solo, but this one flows like a river and the final solo is cleaner and has just the perfect phrasing with more jamming. This is the 2nd best one IMO

Phil Jazz stomping all over this one, and Jerry’s tail is on fire out of the gates, might be one of my favorite TOO intros

Beautiful stuff from an awesome early 73 show.

I don’t think there’s one hotter than this, the band is so tight during the first jam and keeps the pace up after it consistently. Amazing stuff.

Starts out a little uninspiring but picks up when Billy starts kicking the main beat, the band picks it up to new heights from there, from a beautiful 73 show
