The AUD is amazing. Keith shines, and everybody's into it. Bootstrap '76 knockin' down your door.

One of their truly psychedelic songs, on a truly psychedelic night. Incredible transition from Cryptical.

St. Stephen
Feb. 12, 1969
Fillmore East

Nice breakdown after the "Ladyfinger" part, standard St. Stephen for the year though, but it's tight.
Let It Grow

Capitol Theatre

The drum break is something i always come back to, in some ways '76 was like a new '68 for Bill & Mickey, this version is a good example.
One More Saturday Night
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Maybe my 2nd favourite of the tour right behind the Beat Club version. Mr. Garcia indeed, this one is intense but controlled and laid back at the same time. It's in the key of C, and it's their new single, and you should run out and buy it!
Turn On Your Love Light

Bickershaw Festival

darkstar67 is 100% correct here: The most rocked out-groovin'-hip swinging Lovelight ever, this and the Hundred Year Hall versions are just too good; which makes it hard to pick the better one of the two.
Dark Star
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

djchall, with it's chord progression it's quite similiar to the MLB jams, and since the ending jam of the 9/21 DS is seen as the "first MLB" you could say this is a proto-MLB, it evokes that feeling for me atleast. Amazing jam nonetheless, and what a segue.
