9-28, 29-77 Paramount Northwest Theatre, Seattle, WA

Unfortunately, all the currently circulating copies of the first night are missing the first five songs of the first set. The tape of the first set of the first night kicks in at Tennessee Jed which is followed by a smokin' Passenger. The Peggy-O is very sweet and filled with excellent playing. Me And My Uncle is a very fired up version while Friend Of The Devil has cool solos from both Jerry and Keith with great singing from Jerry, Bob and Donna. The Music Never Stopped rocks the first set to a close.

The second set opens with a great Bertha->Good Lovin'. Next, we get the first Dire Wolf since October '74 which is quite well done. The jam of Estimated Prophet->Eyes Of The World->Drums->Not Fade Away->Wharf Rat->Around And Around is a fairly standard for the time but the playing is good. The same can be said for the encore of U.S. Blues.

Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo, Mama Tried and Deal open the second day's show with a great burst of energy before giving way to a mellow Looks Like Rain. Ramble On Rose is it's usual upbeat self while El Paso is given a splendid reading. Sugaree is full of passion with a couple of great jams in there. However, the set ending Let It Grow->Franklin's Tower take the show to another level.

The second set opens with Samson And Delilah and is followed by a great Ship Of Fools. Estimated Prophet->He's Gone->Drums is standard but good. The recently revived Truckin' is a blast and gives way to a beautiful Stella Blue. Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad comes out of Stella Blue and the feel good attitude is a nice change from the somber Stella Blue. Johnny B. Goode is it's usual self and the encore of Uncle John's Band is just wonderful.
