Bobby and Jerry trade licks scorchingly! Hot!!! They continue ripping into a ridiculous China-Rider! Hot show after the death of Bob Marley.

Entire show resonates with the ghost of Marley! At once succinct and jammy!

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!

Jam out into drums begins the Other One fiercely and ferociously....

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…..
