Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.

A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.

Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.

The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.

Soaring. Jerry and Phil in collective consciousness. My version is marred by a rough AUD patch though.

The Other One

Like the Playin' in this epic 2nd set, this TOO is more fired up and heavy than a lot of the other '76 versions. I think it captures the pre-hiatus danger and hard rock sound (like the Playin' too). Maybe the presence of The Who inspired them to put more firepower on their set? Who knows, but they were rockin' it with ferocious intensity here.

Dick knew what he was doing by including the 10th in DP33, because this whole show is just bonkers good. I think the 10th's first set is genuinely better than the 9ths, but the second set is just amazing. This Playin'>Drums>Wheel>Drums>TOO>Stella>Playin' is as outrageous a set as you're going to find. Love this Wheel.

Agreed with the above comment, and this one seems to capture that '73 meltdown wildness in a 'lightning in a bottle' concision that makes this one arguably the best Playin' of '76.
