Sweet fun in a gorgeous acoustic set. Clapalong crowd adds to the joy.

Slow waltz tempo. Bobby's voice gorgeous, Jerry's cantina filigree perfect. A perfect gem. AUD quality B-.

Whoa sweet mama! Back to this show and every note seems worth a shoutout.

Pigpen gets a woman pregnant on stage. Rough AUD but utterly worth it. The jam starting around 16:00 is very hot.

The Other One

School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

A barnburner that suffers a bit from compressed sound quality (and a mic. problem), but still hot & worth a spin. Cryptical outro gets going nicely.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Brilliant version, flawlessly executed in the return show. Jerry has that buzz-saw tone throughout the long and interesting Help>Slip transition, and Phil takes a cool solo.

Great comment from Glyn. Great version and a pivotal moment transitioning post-hiatus.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Not my favorite Franklin, (seems to drag a bit by the last vocals) but the mellow welcome-to-'76 vibe for the Help>Slip part are inspired. The setlist for this show is the stuff of dreams.

Very funny transition from a silly-slow start to a double-time finish. Half the band doesn't know what the f' is happening until they catch up. Funny capper to an historically important show.
Samson and Delilah

Paramount Theatre

Considering that the '76 Dead brought Mickey back, this song seems all the more important. If ever there's a two-drummer tune in the mid-70s repertoire, this is it. Great feel to it, and Bobby's kicking the shit out of the lyric. Great debut to a great song.
