Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

The last halfstep of '76. After Rio Grandeo everyone including the crowd gets into it. The source is a B+ AUD.

This one is fiery, especially the solo, in the vein of 8/24/80, including a hint of a Delilah Jones growl.

I'm doing one of Sharleena's spreadsheets with the 77 halfsteps. What's your project going to be darkstar67? Dark star? Are you done S>F, Sharleena? Ready to take on Sugaree?

Underrated.

Frailing or fanning - or whatever you want to call it - isn't my favorite way for a Jerry solo to peak, but the frailing in the second break is clean, clear and powerful. This is a good recommendation.

I thought this was great. I saw you comment on this a couple days ago and I put it at the top of my list. You're right darkstar, it's not the best ever, but it's much better than many of the 7 minute, perfunctory halfsteps you'll find from 85-95. I just don't have enough time to listen these days, especially when school starts. If I ever make it to retirement, this music is going to replace a big chunk of my work life. Next up is that 12/11/72 halfstep you mentioned and then I'm going to get on that 77 halfstep project - complete with one of Sharleena's spreadsheets.

Great ship, darkstar. Let this video take you back: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sc02NqsBgs
