Looks Like Rain
June 27, 1976
Auditorium Theatre
Jerry and Keith are just on fire behind the beautiful vocal duet. This show is underappreciated. Give it a spin....

Always preferred the fast ones, but listening to Jerry rip up the solos here and it makes sense. Killer version here (with a rude AUD patch though).

Has a crisp and tight disco shuffle prefiguring the '77 sound. Jerry's solo fills are precise and brilliant. Donna's harmonies are as sweet as ever.

Nice on its own, and brilliant as part of a great PITB-SS-Wheel-PITB sandwich. You can hear the fun their having. Short but sweet.

From Phil's opening swoops to Jerry's passion-vox, and pristine soloing, this is a killer stand alone SB. Surprised it's not here yet.

Starts a little rougher, but turns into a solid-fuel rocket and blasts off in a truly inspired jam.

Y'all got me: This is magic. Just how dialled in do you have to be to meet lighting bolts with thunder? Go Phil go...

Deep and dark. Wonderful, mysterious and powerful.

This is probably the first recording of Pigpen-as-life-coach, rapping about just what to do and just how to do it.
Dancin' in the Streets

Avalon Ballroom
This is one of the '66 gems that start to show just what they could do in an extended jam. It's only about six minutes, but goddamn, it covers a lot of ground. Can you imagine the completely baffled A&R men at this point with absolutely no idea how to package and re-sell them... and then the funny coffee kicks in and the '60s happen.
