Keith and Jerry are manic pinball flippers bouncing their solos off each other here. Fun set closer.

Smooth and satisfying, rouses the crowd right up too. What a sweet show this is.

Fun, raucous, and rowdy, but full of tight ensemble jamming and a nice Bobby/Jerry balance, allowing you to hear Cowboy Bob's great backup work.

Jerry's voice is at his most elegant, showing some smoke. Keith is supremely intuitive and beautiful, the band goes higher and higher. Great version.

These early ones have such brilliant swagger, you can really hear the gospel power to them

He's Gone
Oct. 15, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

This is one of the best shows of 1976, and every song just jams and jams beautifully (except maybe Bertha, which sounds like an unplanned mess). This He's Gone is one luscious peak after another. So beautiful, so fine.

This scorcher will amaze you. Jerry burns with the force of a thousand suns. Really.

The "It Factor" is dialed way up past 11 here folks. Don't skip this show. Strap on some headphones and cross that Rio-o-o-o Grande. This one is a beaut. I keep using the word "powerful" to describe their playing on this show and I think it's apt. Check out an under-the-radar MHUT and enjoy!

The Devils take this one to the races. The whole set is one colossal jam after another.

The jam out of this is so good. It sounds like half the band is playing Playin' and the other half is playing The Other One. Could some one with better ears than mine tell me if that's right? Are they jamming 6/8 over 10/4 for a patch? Wild.
