This is Why We Love 1977

Wow, what a gem of a show I dusted off this morning...from October 2, 1977 at the Paramount Theater in Portland, OR.

The recording is a much-prized Betty Board. It's notable for having the first Dupree's Diamond Blues since 1969 and the first Casey Jones since 1974. The latter is one of the best versions I've ever heard...they actually take a little time to play with it, not just getting through quickly.

Check out at least these two tracks, should you choose to deprive yourself the pleasure of the rest of this show.
