The Sportatorium

At times pretty, at times a little weird, but somewhere past 8 minutes, it's downright gorgeous...

Hell in a Bucket
Nov. 6, 1987
Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

Dupree's Diamond Blues
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Donna’s harmonies seem to me to be just about right. Kind of a unique Dupree! Great show!!!
Black Peter
April 10, 1978
Fox Theatre

Out of a gonzo Franklin’s….. Jerry shreds like mad in the frenetic coda!! BTW…. that Franklins (which crawls out of a very long drumz….) is a beautiful mess….another night where they become the world’s greatest garage band!!! And that’s a great thing!

Eyes Of The World

Cameron Indoor Stadium

Yep! Definitely deserves to be top 25 and….. wait a second!!! It ain’t even close to top 60?!? I guess it goes to show, these guys are pretty good, and there a lot of tremendously powerful Eyes out there…. Still….. this has wonderful interplay between Jerry and the gang, Bobby really awesome, Rhythm Devils right on, Phil and Keith doing their amazing thing as we roll from an excellent Estimated through a vibrant Eyes into one of the first ever official Drums/Space and….. !! A bit like some of the more fiery Eyes from the autumn of 77……
