One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Jam starts at around 05:45, never fully forms. Am I crazy? This sounds like NFBM and it continues about 3min into TOO. Very very cool stuff here.

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.
