Tight and hot. Something in the vocals at this show went just perfect too, adding to the intensity.

Greatness in this one: Powerful ensemble vocals.

Phil & Ned: By far the most compact and Space-like. Gargantuan Martian landscapes and insect-shaped UFOs. Sounds like Frippertronics. Heavy stuff.

Fully rockin' blowout to close a lovely summertime 1st set: Not my favorite song, but this one really kicks.

Mega-monster just dives into complete madness with a Phil solo for the ages and wild tweaking from all sides. Much fun.

Ship of Fools

Jerry belts it out with power, puts real oomph into it.

Good and weird. Starts spacious and open, then goes bananas. Not in the hard acid shot-out-of-a-cannon sense but in a more experimental peak weirdness way. Seems like they either forgot about the first verse altogether or figured they'd already ridden it as far as it'd ride.
Samson and Delilah

The whole show is extra loose, and this is no exception... but it flows like a room full of bouncing pingpong balls and grooves with great butt.
Dancin' in the Streets

Roosevelt Stadium

Part of a great run of '76 versions, full of experimental jams, wild turn-on-a-dime grooves, and funky funky funk.
The Wheel

Roosevelt Stadium

Glorious. It moves with the spinning grace of the big wheel and the small wheel too. The Devils give it a pulse while the guitar landscape rolls past and you're dozing in and out of a dream, comfortable in the back of the bus, the road unfolding before you... on the road... sunshine through the window... just a little more ground.
