Dancin' in the Streets
'76 is always funky but this evening seems to have an extra layer of the FUNK, Help->Slip->Franklin's->Dancin how did they have so much energy 40 min.

Samson and Delilah
The transition from Dancin->SAmson is pure bliss, Jerry is a master pure Garcia bliss, Amazing stuff, NIce and funky.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
I am a Jerry guy but Bobby has many of the headiest songs in 1976, Meaty hot funky LL->Sup. aided by Jerry's incredible guitar playing.

Cold Rain and Snow
Cold Rain and Slow - very mellow cool version they seem to be tooling around the arrangement - Bobby and Keith standout on this one.

Ship of Fools
Muscular and confident, not at all dragging. Don't overlook it. It's brilliant and perfect coming in a blazingly good show and great 2nd set.

The slowness of 76 works so well for this 2nd set FOTD. Prettiest song of the night.

The Music Never Stopped
Swirling, cohesive and inspired. It may not hit the rousing peaks of 78, but it's damn fine.
