Next is this great sequence from 5/25/73 at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, where we have Looks Like Rain ; They Love Each Other; Playing In The Band.
Lastly this week is a good portion of the second set from 5/17/77 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where we have Samson and Delilah > Bertha > Good Lovin' > Brown Eyed Women; Estimated Prophet; Terrapin Station > Playing In The Band.
