Cryptical Envelopment

The intro isn't much, but the outro just swells up and hits you in the head like a bag of hammers. Explosive power. Outrageous.

Massive crunching slammer. Wrongfully ignored show. Hot Cryptical outro, too.

Why is this classic and historically important show ignored? They sound great here. Enjoy.

Smokey gut-bucket blooze. Damned fine.

Great vocals and wild harmony with a sweet jam from an historically important show.

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.
