2nd ever in a triple Dark Star sandwich. Choral singing, not fully developed but part of some of the best damned Dead you'll ever hear. Believe me.

Don't Ease Me In

Acoustic version, beautiful and tight. Don't miss the acoustic set in the rush to the late show.

Energetic and tight with great harmonies and strong soloing.

Black Throated Wind

International Amphitheater

Damned strong version building up nicely to the towering triumph, "you've done better by me than I've done by you". Strong stuff.

Deal

Paramount Theatre

Bursting energy ending the 1st set in blazing glory. The shout chorus is outrageously hot. Has to be one of Donna's best nights ever.

Ship of Fools

Roosevelt Stadium

Jerry belts it out with power, puts real oomph into it.
The Other One

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

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.
