The Wheel
Wheel > JAM. Really unique and creative version. Good work by Keith to push the envelope in the transition portion. Whole set is top shelf

Good Lovin'
Pimpin' this show hard lately. This version is HOT! Great jam out of this one. '76 just doesn't get the dap it deserves

Scarlet Begonias
No clean SBD on archive but at official Dead site a pristine version was on 30 days of Dead for DL. 2d best stand-alone I've heard next to 3-20-77

Playin' In The Band
Dark, explorative, and quick paced. Cool stuff here, not to mention the Wheel which proceeds and the jamming that snakes its way through all of set2

Not Fade Away
Part of an epic jam, plus an enormous China Cat tease at 10:45 in a 5-year spell without them. Very interesting groove, too.

Around and Around
Dialed in an ass kicking 1976 is definitely the year this song shined the most.

Sugaree
Thoughtful, almost 11 minute version. Greasing it up before the monster versions of 77. Excllent nonetheless.

New Minglewood Blues
Great bass work from Phil and very unique - doesn’t sound like him. One of my favorite all time versions!
