Such floating beauty, you can feel the tires humming down the highway. Part of a magic Playin' sammy too. Everything about this is brilliant.

Just exactly perfect here. Bobby and Donna were perfection in '76, The little AUD patch doesn't hurt at all. Jerry and the Devils tear it up.

Donna and Bobby in perfect sync, beautifully harmonizing, and backed up with brilliant Jerry fretwork. '76 was Donna's best year by far.

Short set opener, but if there's one where Donna saves it all with breathy ahhhs and mmmms, it's this one. Gentle whispers around 03:30.

Spanish Jam in the outro is so beautiful. What a treat the heads got in Boston.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Great up-and-jumping opener and you can tell from the first moments that they were much tighter than the previous night. Both are great and classic shows, but they're just musically more in sync to this head's ears.

Beautiful interlude section before the last out jam. Jerry's cruising at high speed behind the swimming ooohs and ahhs in great beauty.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

The Help is not as strong or tight as others, and kind of hollows out at one point, but the Slipknot more than makes up for it by getting good and weird. Keith on the Rhodes gives it that great '74 wicked voodoo sound and plays up great phasing effects with Bobby around minute six. The band is waaaaaay loose, but it all sort of comes together. There's something like mic. static or a blown monitor at one point, but even this contributes to the journey.

Has that verge-of-chaos feeling where the jam takes off in 100 different directions while the pulse moves you closer and closer to a full-on dance trance. Nice catch.
