The Race Is On

War Memorial

The most shit-kickinest version I know. Real swagger and Phil bombs early in the set.

Eyes Of The World

Rochester Community War Memorial

Strong version from a forgotten show. Whole second set on this show is SB, not AUD. Worth multiple listenings, great jazzy jam.

Rochester Community War Memorial

An intense, tight, and blisteringly hot version in a forgotten show. DO NOT IGNORE! Archive is SB, not AUD w/ decent sound. Listen to it!

Listen through the murk of the AUD recording and you find a beautiful exploratory version. Headphones only.

Civic Center

Intense energy and deep exploration coming after (!) a massive Dark Star and a shredding Eyes to close out one hell of a concert.

I'm with Crackstraw here. One of the best of the Summer tour. Donna does indeed sound amazing - showing what a little attention to mic'ing and mixing correctly could do for the whole band. CRS was always my favorite show opener, it just feels so uniquely Dead.

Relatively rare in '76, this is the first one since the hiatus. Jerry and Keith are in perfect sync, and chase each other around the jam in a wild, slithering race.

Orpheum Theatre

Deliberate is a good term for it. After a speedy and scattered Let it Grow (Bobby's chews up the lyrics), Jerry takes over the transition and somehow both spins higher and higher, while bring the band together, slows, them down, catches a breath, and lands on this intensely focused Wharf Rat,

But dude, if you believe Bobby when he tells you it's someone's birthday, I've got a bridge to sell you! That's some Prankster voodoo trickery, man.
