Bobby's on, tight version. Short - but you can hear hints of where Playin' will go in '72.

Mysterious movement from acoustic to electric inside this gem. Moves into a great Darkstar.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

You know how when old head's talk about '76 and mention the great LL>Sup jams? Well here it is. This kicks off and just doesn't stop. The whole show features one of the greatest 2nd sets of all time, and this one shows you earlier on in the show just how ready they were to go further and farther faster.
They Love Each Other

One of the best from '76, with just a touch of insouciant strut.

NFA can be so sweet when they dial it down. Here the voices are full of feeling, and it really feels like the big love.

Starts really muscular for a SB, just pumped full of vitamins and bursting at the seams with an almost ska or Caribbean carnival vibe to it. Once the melody is done they turn the heat down but she's still simmering away. The explorations begin and it's a great great ride. At one point Phil and Jerry are in spontaneous counterpoint. I love the stand-alones and this one is top shelf.
Cosmic Charlie

Capital Centre

We used to hold signs and wear teeshirts calling for Cosmic Charlie. There was even some acid inspired shenanigans calling it a "campaign" or something. Never came back, though did it. It's just one of the mysteries.
