Groovy yoga from soft space to barroom swashbuckler of a brent wheel. Crack harmonies and psyched out blissy vibe. Pummeling!! no jam

Embryonic, unhinged and primal! Tiger lead is positively lacerating, everyone in attendance was split into dust

The Wheel

bound to cover just a little more ground, for only 3rd time, chunky and dancing version, powerful
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Beacon Theatre

The approach to this trifecta as a victory lap rather than a bust out of the gate yields an arguably even more rewarding version of the composition. Slip is not a melter so much as a slow burn...

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Beacon Theatre

rippling and full of alignment, just shredding
Playin' In The Band
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

For sure under-voted, it's playing in the band and they go crazy on this one. Returning to the D modal jam from craziness, you can start to see why this is Keith Godchaux's "catatonic" phase, his Rhodes playing doesn't take us as far as say, a Dark Star from two years prior would. But it's still nasty and great. Iconic Donna wail coming back around. One of those PITB's that'll take you through several distinct cycles of mood
