Doesn't go into a cool rap, like some '71s, but pretty f-in tight jam and a great mix, with everyone sounding great.

Last one with Pig: A blasting sexy swagger with slow rising force like the Palladium one up top here. Listen past the tape problems and slow start.

As good an introduction to '71 as you'll ever hear. Someone else help me here or I'm going to list every song in this show!

Still brand new (7th ever) and it's got a lot of pump to it. This whole show is a forgotten treasure. C. Miller cleanup much improves the others.

As sweet and solid as they come: Opens a wonderful summer outdoor show in NYC. Surprised it isn't here yet.

Sweet and lovely version and part of an dream 2nd set Saint Stephen>NFA>SS>Eyes>Drums>Wheel. Just off-the-hook beautiful.

Beautiful mellow '76 Stephen jam flows oh-so-nicely into and out of a smooth and fine NFA.

One really beautiful idea after another. Slightly rough sound quality, but one rare beauty from this short rotation. I had this on cassette back in the 80s and damn near wore it out.

Think this is a Bobby song? Listen to Jerry just tear through it with his torrential downpour of one musical idea after another, his notes like so many raindrops by the million.

Thanks for the shoutout Darkstar67. ‘76 remains the best-kept secret year for the 70s. I think it gains from its loose and understated qualities. It isn’t slick - maybe the one thing I’d say against the perfection of the next year - but warm and cozy.
