Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.

In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

The Other One
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

The red-headed step kids of '77 were all these insanely tight-yet-twisted Other Ones, the ones we don't talk about all that much, but each one a force to be reckoned with. This one begins before drums, out of a formidable He's Gone. Into a Comes a Time about as delicate and towering as May 9. Entire show.... Hoooo-Whee!

Just realized.... Today is the day of the best Sugaree ever, in a month of some of the best of everything ever, especially, maybe.... Sugarees…..
