How is this not here?!? Shoots out of cannon at light speed (after a slooooooow '76 Wharf Rat).

China Doll always helped bring us back down. Listen to this one coming after 62+ minutes of high-powered jamming and fully comprehend its beauty.

A beauty. Jer's vocals are spot on. Gears up for a mega-epic 2nd half of the set. Listen through the hiss on the archive and enjoy.

28 minutes of groove. Playin' at its finest - but the hiss on the archive version is bad. C. Miller cleaned up part of this show - keep going sir!

Never a bad '73 version: Listen through the hiss (headphones, folks) for a diamond in the rough. Apparently a rainbow emerged during it, really.

Dancin' in the Streets

Market Square Arena

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.
