Muscular and punchy. Jer sings it right on: kicked my eye and kicked my dog, midnight train. Energy reigns.

Contains everything and could stand alone as an epic GDTRFB, even as part of its trad NFA sammy. Great speed work from everyone, builds and builds.

"Kicked my eye and he blacked my dog". Like others this night, the vibe is aggressive and rowdy, knifey jagged soloing, this one's a killer.

Introduced as"kind of a death and destruction song", which tells you all you need to know.

Outrageous, hot, and pumped up. Should have been of this list a long time ago.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
July 12, 1976
Orpheum Theater

Killer Supplication here, transition or no. Their superfunk tight, and blisteringly hot. The crowd goes bananas for it. You can hear Phil say something cryptic that sounds like "Steve: Alligator derelicts on Fairfax" before going into Deal, whatever that means.

Playin' In The Band

The second half, after a gorgeous Wheel, is tighter and more energetic than the first part. Sounds like Jerry and maybe the drummers were signalling for >>The Other One before coming back into PITB, which would have been the first one of '76. Instead, they settle into what might be a unique 12/8 jam over a strong 4/4 pulse (rather than reaching 6/8 TOO feeling) before following Phil out of the splintering shards back to the PITB, complete with a blown speaker. Tremendous musicianship, and a stunning reprise, which must have given the Heads quite a spin.

A real beaut. After a introspective and floating Playin' jam intro, this wheel coalesces into a dreamscape, like drifting down the highway between sleep and waking life. Yes, the transition back to Playin' is beautiful, too.

First inklings of what the Disco Dead sound will be start about here. This isn't meant to be dismissive. I freakin' love the Disco Dead.
