The boys seem to love playing in unanounced, unstructred jams like this. Freedom reminiscent of some '67-69's but with the '73 songlist.

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Rippin' show opener with Bobby twang sliding and a 2nd Jerry solo taking it up and over the top. Plus its Nashville.

Turns typical 1st set filler into a great jam. One of Keith's best solos of Summer '73.

Cool and fast w/ 12min jam before 1st (and only) verse. At 08:30 Phil goes teases what sounds like Milking the Turkey. Is that possible?

A greasy gritty super-funk sex parade. Wasn't often the Dead sounded this horny after Pigpen died.

Dancin' in the Streets

Weaves in and out of the 2nd set in so many different styles and states. The wheel > jam was noted, but from the first wah-wahing introduction to the fade out into GDTRFB, this is peak '76.

What more can be said about it? It's stopped me dead in my tracks and I can't move on. I've been listening to Oct. 1, 1976 now for over a month and just find more and more in this suite every time. From the SB standalone forward this show just keeps giving.

One of the best standalone Scarlets, and probably the very best of '76. Deserves to be much higher, and brings everything together perfectly.

These '76 versions are some of my favorite NMBs out there and this one has great oomph and swagger.

Starts off pretty sparse and mellow, but then watch out. Jerry weaves sweet line after line in the middle solo portion. Following the interlude something happens and it's in a totally different gear, grinding out power chords and Phil bombs. Fun stuff.
