Jerry's guitar is thin but flies through the fretboard and extends final jam by a solid 45-60 seconds

Not Fade Away
Dec. 31, 1976
Cow Palace

This one is so much better than 9/10 in top ten. That's my opinion. You're getting what you would expect with NFA here. I know we like being pranked out by the boys but familiarity breeds contempt. This pretty much sounds like JGB covering NFA circa 1976. Easily Keith's best NYE show during his stint. Kills it all night - is a part of the band and shit!
Samson and Delilah

The Good Lovin>Samson segue is very reminiscent of the band moe. moe segues at their shows better than any band i've ever seen. Almost all songs are fair game. Check out the songs Four and Opium by moe. Try to get a Opium > or < in/out of song, Such killer slide guitar in Opium! The slow teasy build up to S&D is creative dead and the closest thing to a Fall '73 Delilah ;)

Man this one needs more looks. The jam hits such an intense once in a life time crescendo that will make you jump out of your seat. Check this one out!!!

Of course I love 12/28.not quite a top 5 for the year, but still strong. Love Ace's slide during outro. Delia whistled a different tune, what tune could that be? Bobby's slide. It is the perfect representation of the whistling widow.
