Absolute ripper. Band sounds like they started warm and heated up. Great first set.

Johnny B. Goode
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Starts with Jerry barking orders: "Rock and Roll! Rock and Roll!" and it doesn't disappoint. Caps off a high intensity blazing glory of a show. DP33.

The Other One
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena
Rare for '76, it starts a bit rough, but then finds its gear and blasts off. It sounds a bit like a mid-80s version to this head.

The Music Never Stopped

Riverfront Arena
MLB makes a mini-return 4 minutes in when Jerry pulls Phil out of the song for some fun. MLB is the origin of TMNS. Here they are together.

Brown Eyed Women

Riverfront Arena
Overlooked show probably due to the middle AUD quality, but listen here and you get pure Jerry perfection, plus a possible explosion on stage.

I Know You Rider

Avalon Ballroom
Do my ears deceive me or is Pigpen part of the ensemble vocals? That would be a rare thing indeed. I love the Nashville/Bakersfield sound here to this arrangement and Jerry is just brilliant throughout.
Viola Lee Blues
July 29, 1966
P.N.E. Garden Auditorium
Was there anyone else on the scene extending jams like this in '66? Even aside from the Acid Tests and the psychedelic pop, they were so freakin' on at this point.

Plus one for "jitterbug". So right!
Cream Puff War
July 29, 1966
P.N.E. Garden Auditorium
Truly fantastic indeed. You can fully hear how they ripped Caution out of Cream Puff War in the years ahead. Also: Billy is a goddamned monster on this.
Sitting on Top of the World

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium
Completely bonkers. Sounds like ten-thousand rubber pingpong balls shot through a particle accelerator.
