Summary
This week, the heart of set 2 from the classic Red Rocks show performed on July 8th, 1978. There's no filler here, folks, just prime cut Dead. You might notice that sometimes they're not quite sure where the muse is going to take them, but once it does they follow at full throttle.
The Wharf Rat is one of my all time favorites.
The Werewolves of London is clearly the best they played.
