It was an ok show for summer '76. Jerry, Keith & Donna were pretty together after a great run with the side band. Happiness is drumming is on Diga rhythm band. We didn't have the best location, but I'll UL the master someday...

Subject: happiness is drumming

yes cliff the recording is weak, but i have to say that serendipitously hearing this proto-fire jam was beautiful. thanks archive.

Subject: Dog shit audience recording...

This is impossible to enjoy, it sounds like shit. Not much happening here anyway...

Subject: GREAT!

Great show all around. The High Time is phenomenal, Donna really adds to this song, so thats rare and very nice. Everyone's playing is strong and Jerry's vocal are awesome, a must listen for sure. The MNS is pretty good, not amazing but above average i would say. The Eyes is also stellar, it has a nice strong 6 minute jam to start it off and doesn't die at all during the song. Then there's the Happiness is drumming or Fire on the mountain jam, it sounds really sweet, its just a nice little look into the dead IMO. So i'd say focus on the High Time, happiness jam and Eyes.

Subject: NOBODY PLAYS THE BASS LIKE PHIL....

FRET OR NO FRET NO ONE PLAYS THE BASS LIKE PHIL.I ONLY WISH HE WOULD PLAY ''BIG BROWN'' MORE OFTEN,I MEAN THE SOUNDS HE GETS OUT OF IT ARE AMAZING.''KEEP ON THUMPIN'

Subject: Fretless

Phil had three fretless basses that were given to him by the Guild company in '68. He didn't really like them but they became the lab rats for Alembic's bass r&d, enter active electronics. He's pretty much always been a fretted player.

Wow, this is a great show! I don't think I've ever heard it before. Love the mid 70's Dancin' treatment with the downward spiral jazzy treatment as was typical of the period. It gets a solid four, the mix and sound quality could be better.

Subject: \bass

I don't think Phil ever played a fretless in this era and those killer slides are just made on the fretted. There is a good discussion here on this topic if anyone is interested.

Subject: Yeah

Happiness is Drumming = Fire minus words

Anyway this is a great show.

Subject: wish there was a slighly better copy of this

while there is no hiss and this is pretty low gen the sound quality and editing of the crowd banter is not as great as some of the other shows it is however an audience and will cut some slack...

great scarlet miss the fretless bass wish fill would roll that one out again - hot music.... and bless that is a blessed event 6:30 before a word is spoken the happiness is drumming jam sounds like fire without vocals abt a year early and while the wheel and wharf rat are solid dancin is ripping and gets the crowd up and rocking. hard to say if the following night is better..... Ill let someone else figure it out I like both...

Subject: Where is the fire

Am I just confused? I dont see Fire on the set list, and dont remember it being played, as I sat about 6 Rows off the stage. Time to DL and see if I'm crazy, or remember correctly.

This show alone is worth the Eyes, arguably the best this listener has heard. The intro jam and energy is unparallel while the song as a whole maintains throughout. An embryonic Fire also adds added mystique.
