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.

Spanish Jam in the outro is so beautiful. What a treat the heads got in Boston.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Tower Theatre

Great up-and-jumping opener and you can tell from the first moments that they were much tighter than the previous night. Both are great and classic shows, but they're just musically more in sync to this head's ears.

Beautiful interlude section before the last out jam. Jerry's cruising at high speed behind the swimming ooohs and ahhs in great beauty.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

The Help is not as strong or tight as others, and kind of hollows out at one point, but the Slipknot more than makes up for it by getting good and weird. Keith on the Rhodes gives it that great '74 wicked voodoo sound and plays up great phasing effects with Bobby around minute six. The band is waaaaaay loose, but it all sort of comes together. There's something like mic. static or a blown monitor at one point, but even this contributes to the journey.

Has that verge-of-chaos feeling where the jam takes off in 100 different directions while the pulse moves you closer and closer to a full-on dance trance. Nice catch.
