Very cool NFA sandwich. It works well this way.

Starts with the chorus instead of the verse and a funny banter intro. Sweet version.

As deep and simple a beautiful blues as they ever did. Pig's got the spirit of the Delta here alright. What a treat.

Upvote for all Little Sadies, of course, but this one is special. Subtle, understated, and delicate: Jerry is barely whispering the lyrics. Beautiful.

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.
