BOS2 Chicago, "Lowdown", despite being a Morey Katrina it's sounding good to me this morning.

I'll definitely catch the replay of this set.  But for the record, the greatest interpreter of Paul Williams was Jim Henson.

The lovers, the dreamers, and he.

Try to catch The Peak's replay too --that was the gem of the day.

Sounding especially lovely on the replay.  This was one of the first songs I consciously remember adoring, back in the mid '70s.  I think I saw them perform it on a Krofft-esque Saturday morning a.m. show.  But this extended outro mix, I never knew before getting the 2-CD complete GH comp.
