Having held "sing something Phil" banners, I always had a soft spot for BoR. This one is tightly played and powerfuly sung. Good stuff!

Hard rockin' version coming after a deliriously epic 2nd set suite. Crunchy and powerful.

A long, smooth outro allows for a little musical discussion whether it's going to TOO or Truckin'. Great stuff that must have stolen many faces.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This CC is so sweet and much longer than others of the era before signaling the >IKYR, with lots of room to stretch out and find the sound.

So smooth, so warm. 2nd song in the show, and they sound like its late 2nd set. Gem of a show, gem of a song.

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

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

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.
