Solid grooving version. Jerry's final solo builds up nicely.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Nassau Coliseum

China Cat is a slow, bumpy, and chaotic mess, quickly ended. Follows a beautiful Feeling Groovy and long Rider. Good to see the boys quick recovery!

Tighter and a wee bit faster than the previous night's debut, played with more confidence and just exactly perfect.

Sweet version, very tight and mellow groove: Love the 70's outlaw buddy-pic vibe.

Sweet and lovely version and part of an dream 2nd set Saint Stephen>NFA>SS>Eyes>Drums>Wheel. Just off-the-hook beautiful.

Beautiful mellow '76 Stephen jam flows oh-so-nicely into and out of a smooth and fine NFA.

One really beautiful idea after another. Slightly rough sound quality, but one rare beauty from this short rotation. I had this on cassette back in the 80s and damn near wore it out.

Think this is a Bobby song? Listen to Jerry just tear through it with his torrential downpour of one musical idea after another, his notes like so many raindrops by the million.

Thanks for the shoutout Darkstar67. ‘76 remains the best-kept secret year for the 70s. I think it gains from its loose and understated qualities. It isn’t slick - maybe the one thing I’d say against the perfection of the next year - but warm and cozy.
