St. Stephen
Dec. 30, 1977
Winterland Arena
Super super strong. Robust shredding. Methodical but wild, lumbering but savage. Could be number one stand-alone Stephen of '77... (though close to 5/5).
Bonus tracks of Dick's 10, with sick '77 Estimated-Eyes, into rocking Sugar Mags.
Reality is, nothing was finer than the finest Stephen-Elevens, as gorgeous and perfect a fit as anything, a marriage equal to Scarlet-Fire, China-Rider.... But this is nice and long and epic and close enough to pretend....
(though Stephen-NFA-Stephen was a great pair, too...! Shoulda done it more...)
And Wolf was ridiculous, gave him that raw Heavy Metal lightning.......
