Shrine Auditorium

Powerful version. Is the only reason it's not yet here because only AUDs exist? Jeez Heads, get it together!

Absolute ripper. Band sounds like they started warm and heated up. Great first set.

Johnny B. Goode

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Starts with Jerry barking orders: "Rock and Roll! Rock and Roll!" and it doesn't disappoint. Caps off a high intensity blazing glory of a show. DP33.

The Other One

Riverfront Arena

Rare for '76, it starts a bit rough, but then finds its gear and blasts off. It sounds a bit like a mid-80s version to this head.

MLB makes a mini-return 4 minutes in when Jerry pulls Phil out of the song for some fun. MLB is the origin of TMNS. Here they are together.

I Know You Rider

Avalon Ballroom

Do my ears deceive me or is Pigpen part of the ensemble vocals? That would be a rare thing indeed. I love the Nashville/Bakersfield sound here to this arrangement and Jerry is just brilliant throughout.

Was there anyone else on the scene extending jams like this in '66? Even aside from the Acid Tests and the psychedelic pop, they were so freakin' on at this point.

Plus one for "jitterbug". So right!
Cream Puff War

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium

Truly fantastic indeed. You can fully hear how they ripped Caution out of Cream Puff War in the years ahead. Also: Billy is a goddamned monster on this.

Completely bonkers. Sounds like ten-thousand rubber pingpong balls shot through a particle accelerator.
