| Dick's Review | Starts off with one of the better (only 10/20/78 and 5/4/79 come to mind) versions of this fine medley - (Mississippi Half Step > Franklin's Tower). This show even has an unusually good version of Me And My Uncle! The show takes a noticeable jump in excitement with the closing jam. Terrapin Station is very thrilling and Playin' In The Band is pretty tasty. The drum solo is also very tantalizing. But The Other One brings everything into focus. Besides this rendition, the stuff they get into at the end of an excellent Wharf Rat is the other major highlight. It gets so intense that it seems to almost want to start up The Other One again. Good Lovin' is a surprise and fitting close to a very exceptional show. In fact it comes as close as you can get before deserving a Lightning Skull Award! |
