Might As Well
July 18, 1976
Orpheum Theater

Barnburning storm burster so strong it blows out speakers around 03:30 in. Kicks off the party with Jerry in full form, vox and guitar.

New Minglewood Blues

Orpheum Theater

Maybe not everyone's favorite song (or anyone's), but this is the ballsiest most swaggering one since they busted it out. Great mix helps, too.

Cassidy

Orpheum Theater

Note for note perfection. Cassidy was a blazing glory during this whole Summer tour.

Johnny B. Goode

Orpheum Theatre

Keith could play a piano just like ringing a bell. Jeez, but he just slays it here. Show this to your kid learning the keyboard, damn.

Orpheum Theatre

It's got everything nice about the '76 sound: Crisp and clean while laid back. Perfect execution.

Brilliant rarity.
Caution

Listening to all of '66 and this feels like the very first fully realized one.
Cold Rain and Snow

Ivar Theater

Fans of this song need to hear this! It's down to the bare bones, young, raw and full of passion.
I Know You Rider

Ivar Theater

You'd almost call this a Phil song at this point in the early history of the band. So cool to hear it in its infancy.
On The Road Again
Feb. 25, 1966
Ivar Theater

Pre-proto-Dead, and so so very cool. There's some debate around the date, but it's on the archive as the Ivar Theater, so what difference does it make! Jerry's voice is soooooo young.
