Sweet! Everybody is locked in

St. Stephen
Holy heady version! This is a religious experience. I flat out love me some '76, wow...

Might As Well
At the Beacon Theatre in NYC, Jerry noodles his way out of the first set with this upbeat tune.
4
Promised Land
Rockin' & tight ya'll. Nuff' said. There needs to be a promised land repped here.
3
Cassidy
heady version!
4
Dancin' in the Streets
Played almost everynight of the tour but still maintains a funky fresh disco dead flavor.
11
Sugaree
Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.
4
Let It Grow
Super Sweet Version From an Amazing Show!!
8
Candyman
A subtle beauty. Just a bit of swagger, just a bit of grit, lots of fine singing, and an acqueous solo for the ages.
9
The Music Never Stopped
Really short, but very tight. Jerry ends with a cascading riff that sounds like spotaneous composition. Anyone know if they played this jam again?
12
Not Fade Away
Jam starts to bubble and boil and rolls on with great creative force. Very cool '76 sound, and a great mix with Bobby and Phil interaction on display
3
Samson and Delilah
Swaggering gospel here, with all the muscle and might befitting the song. Bobby's having a blast.
7
Friend of the Devil
I won't say best, but there's a very cool Hawaiian vibe with Jerry and Bobby backing Keith's solo around the fifth minute.
4
Sugar Magnolia
Cool Sugar Mag>Scarlet Begonias>SSDD sammy. Is this the only one like it? The SSDD kicks ass.
4
Scarlet Begonias
Great standalone sandwiched between a Sugar Mag and her Sunshine Daydream. Nice combo.
6
It Must Have Been The Roses
While we're at it...
2
Johnny B. Goode
Please listen to this. Amazing encore performance
3
The Wheel
Ecstatic and confident with a sweet transition into Sugar Mags.
