Wait a minute! Hard to figure how this one hasn't been posted yet. Very solid all 'round performance by all.

Clear, pure, and beeyootiful. The boys' voices are on, the sound well mixed, and all is well.

Tight, sweet version. Doesn't have the inferno element from some at the top, but a strong one nevertheless.

Comes in super sweetly after a short and scary TOO, like feather whispers needed to get the mind back in the body. Good trip guiding, really.

Bobby's Satan's-goina-getchya vocals add to the wild speedy visciousness of this monster.

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.
