Headphones only (sound problems), but so worth it - liquid crystal lightning Jerry jaming at it's best. Deserves many listens.

Archive copy sounds like its recorded through a tin can, but excellent groove, jam. For headphones only.

Any doubt at the time that Mickey coming back was for the good must have quickly evaporated. The Devils just kill it here with their incredible energy and groupmind. Great solos, my favorite Eyes from '76.

Comes up from the side and pulls you out of your body up somewhere near those cloud hands he's singing about. One of the Dead's greatest compositions played here to beautiful effect.

Magnificent musicality throughout. Jerry and Keith at about 11:00 go into some wild modal extraterritoriality. It does exactly what I loved about PITB as a 1st set closer, transforming the show from a set of (great) songs into the long, the strange, and the beautiful.

Really really beautiful. Who's that on the smokey backup vocals?

Matter of taste, but this one never fully lifts off for me. Much prefer 22 Jan. '78 for serious face meltage.
