    This week we dive into a very hot and unique show, 5/17/77. This was a nickj and TOOTMO recommendation, and I also had a few other people Email me about this one after my glowing review of 5/25. I have given this show at least ten full listens, and I really could not ask for much more enjoyment out of a show that I have not heard before now. This show is very different than 5/25 imo. This one is more structured and well played, and not quite as drifty or dreamy. More chops, less improvisation.

    This show could hold its own in the ring with any other show they ever did, including anything else from the merry month of May ‘77. That's saying a lot. Shows from that legendary Spring ‘77 tour can sometimes come off as so polished, so perfect, and so clean that you can glaze over while listening to them… unless they have some sort of twist. The Cornell show wouldn’t be the Cornell show if they didn’t give that extra bite to Row Jimmy, Dancin’, St. Stephen, and Morning Dew.

    Step right up! I got a horn..might as well blow it. Meself & 2 buds from Baton Rouge trucked up for this one & the 2 at the Fox in Atlanta. The Bama venue was rigged theatre-style..meaning the arena was partitioned so the stage was set mid-court w/ a curtain behind. There was no barricade down front..a bloke could stand belly-up to the stage.
