Winterland, NYE 1978

Time stopped at midnight and eternity commenced.

Pauly Pavillion the night before, drove up the long highway back to San Francisco all through the night to make it to winterland for New Year's Eve. Van full of sleeping hippies, picked up a shivering little guy outside of LA who spoke no English and had only a piece of paper with a relative's address up near SF.It was a damned cold night and he had no jacket. Got him warmed up, and he kept me good soulful company all that windblown chilly trip. We shared a soul connection and when I let him off at the exit for to head towards his destiny, I knew he'd make it just fine. We had him geared up with warm stuff. He dwells in the lodges of my soul. Then on to Winterland and it was all so damned profound.

silky silky crazy night

All I could remember from this show was the slide show documenting the bands trip to Egypt.

 

From Egypt With Love

Another night at the Pauley Pavillion with lovers, friends, and family. And like any typical family gathering, a chance to crack out the slide projector and slides of "What We Did On Our Summer Vacation", aka "From Egypt with Love". The pics, in every shade of the same sandstone, provided the mood and backdrop for the evening (just in case a couple of us hadn't made it to Egypt a couple months prior).
This show lives forever in the shadow of the legendary next night, but the band were fresh, tight, and expansive this evening. The new album was well represented and new tunes Stagger Lee (with Jer's deliciously gritty clavinet tone), Miracle and Shakedown anticipated and well received.
Though I'd heard it many times before, Scarlet played for quite a few seconds before I recognized it, as I seem to recall that Bob started it quite tastefully without the rest of the band. ..On into Fire and Playin'.. Nice drums, then a bunch of muftis or sufis, uh, well, a bunch of guys in white robes and caps shuffled onstage. The entrancing, exotic tippy-tap rhythms of the tar drums and handclaps started things off, then Egyptian singing Ollin Arrageed with Jerry noodling and weaving the beautiful and wispy guitar melody behind it. Dead books/interviews often talk of finding the "one" beat in their jams; this Egyptian choir would perk up with a "hey!" when they launched into each subsequent stanza. The performance was hypnotic and finally faded to silence and applause. A St Stephen is usually a big deal in anyone's book, but I was still reeling from that heady Egypt jam for several minutes afterward. A very beautiful show.
