Never thought I'd dig this song so much. They're just so on this whole night (week actually).

Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!

Around 7:00 it's basically a prototype Terrapin jam. Great to hear how this theme is emerging at this point. You can hear the same in the one on the 24th too.

CR&S was always my favorite opener and this one doesn't disappoint at all. I always felt like they held it for when they were all feeling amped up and ready to play. Something about the groove, and something that harkens back to their earliest repertoire makes it extra special. Plus this one has serious butt.

Is that what that is? Whatever you call it, it's also a pinnacle of exuberant musicianship and just simply amazing. At 14:00 or so Jerry teases China Cat, which had dropped out of rotation at this stage. What a gem.

Only nine TOO this year, no Dark Stars, and not many PiTB. They weren't going for the long and wild explorations of the deep weird so much as perfecting the tight ensemble musicality that comes to a head in the great '77 tours. But this TOO stands out for its part in a long extended 2nd set jam that covers so much ground at supersonic speed. Doesn't go to mars, but covers the earth in low orbit more than once.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

The Help>Slip part of this is absolutely rock solid. Twisting and turning at high speed, they don't miss a beat. One of the tightest live ones I know of, and should be much higher just for this. The Franklin's is joyous, and long, just exactly perfect.
