Cow Palace

Energy-wise, this one hits a very nice sweet spot in-between the one drummer era versions and the versions from '77. Silky, yet rockin'. I fuck with it.

Promised Land doesn't really get better than this.
Eyes Of The World

Orpheum Theatre

One of the all-time best versions with several unique passages. Blissful, searching and cohesive. Criminally underrated.
The Other One

Orpheum Theatre

The Space jam on this one is genuinely engaging. The band are listening to one another and responding to make a very trippy soundscape that almost sounds like it could be scoring a strange old horror movie. The end destination of Eyes + the eventual reprise just make this one all the more remarkable.

Maybe not just exactly perfect, but the tone and mood Keith and Jerry lay down is too sublime to miss.'76 is the peak of their partnership.
