![]() Those were the days, eh boys? We had the GD coming around regularly before and after hiatus, and Jer bands coming around thick and fast that for a moment there we (almost) took Jer for granted. I looked at The Tapers Compendium last night and it reminded me that I caught the band at Englishtown, 3 Sept '77 and again in Denver, 9 October '77, so a bit of book-ending to the coming release. And so cool to put two Portland shows that drop neatly into that 4-disc bundle.Īs much as I look forward to the upcoming '72, a fat serving of brick-smashing fall '77 is gonna land in open arms at this house, especially as late January downright begs for some shack shakin' (of the musical variety but, hey, if can you shake the shack in another domain, GO FOR IT!!)
