Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

I suppose everyone knows the one the night before, but this one is tighter & more overwhelming in that all-encompassing 7/4 mindmelt way.

The Music Never Stopped

Airtight version with perfect orchestration. Especially sweet vocals with Donna Jean at her best. Never quite lifts off in the jam though.

How has this whole show been overlooked? I know '76 is generally undervalued, even by '70s fans, but c'mon, this is smokin' hot stuff.

Gorgeous vocals and a beautiful ensemble feel. This show is seriously underappreciated.

Fires off like a rocket. Souped up and accelerated. Is this the first LiG without the WRS to introduce it? It's a speed demon top notch version.

Nice exploration of China's melodic themes before moving into the Riderish jam.

I count this as a Dark Star jam as much as a Spanish Jam. DS melodic themes appear in the first minute and recur throughout.
