Winterland Arena

Buzzing and crackling and just a wee bit manic. Early 1st set and the party is raging. Fun and wild.

Sublime and mysterious. A beauty.

Perfect fun, with great organ work and the '70 sound. Pig says, "I'd thank you to not use no dirty words in the public" which cracks me up, too.

Fast and relentless. This one has power behind it.

Deep and dark with strong emotional jams. Lots of great Peters around this time.

Ship of Fools
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

Jerry belts it out with power, puts real oomph into it.
The Other One
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

Good and weird. Starts spacious and open, then goes bananas. Not in the hard acid shot-out-of-a-cannon sense but in a more experimental peak weirdness way. Seems like they either forgot about the first verse altogether or figured they'd already ridden it as far as it'd ride.
Samson and Delilah
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

The whole show is extra loose, and this is no exception... but it flows like a room full of bouncing pingpong balls and grooves with great butt.
Dancin' in the Streets
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

Part of a great run of '76 versions, full of experimental jams, wild turn-on-a-dime grooves, and funky funky funk.
The Wheel
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

Glorious. It moves with the spinning grace of the big wheel and the small wheel too. The Devils give it a pulse while the guitar landscape rolls past and you're dozing in and out of a dream, comfortable in the back of the bus, the road unfolding before you... on the road... sunshine through the window... just a little more ground.
