Friend of the Devil
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

One of those great '76 moments where Keith and Jerry are melding minds in a way that's actually satisfying. Easily one of the best slow versions I've ever heard and certainly the best of the June '76 run.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

The way the Supplication simmers under some very psychedelic heat makes for some of the most patient, gorgeous jamming of the tour. Short, but sweet.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

The Slipknot is satisfying if not quite transcendent, but the Franklin's absolutely rips.

I adore Keith's solo. it's so commanding that it leaves room for Jerry and Bob to trade chord work off one another, which is interesting to hear as well. Not quite as searing as some versions but incredibly inspired nonetheless.

The landing out from The Wheel is a blast. You can feel the crowd's excitement at the transition and it's pretty contagious.
