Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.

A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.

Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.

The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.

Soaring. Jerry and Phil in collective consciousness. My version is marred by a rough AUD patch though.

Playin' In The Band
July 14, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Deep and thick Playin' here. I'm going to say here that this show is under-appreciated. Maybe the history of low-fi tapes for the era has had an impact, but damn if this doesn't cook, and cook hard, regardless of how people dismiss '76 as one long opiate haze of slow tempos and sleepy grooves. Check it out, get into it. You'll love it, I swear.

Super fine yes, but chilled out? I'm not so sure... By '74 standards the whole year is chilled out, but this SB grooves hard and goes deep in for over 10 minutes. One of the best stand alone versions, for sure.

This is an absolute beauty. Good call. This show needs a bit more love, folks.

Can't update the version that I submitted, but I can recommend that you heads get yer asses over to July 13, 1976 and give this one a spin. It has one of the tightest, musically coherent and spotless drum solos in LIG that I know, and the whole thing just lights everything around it on chemical fire.

Play this for anyone who still insists a) that '76 was a chronic drag; or that b) Donna didn't sing beautifully when mic'd and mixed correctly.
