Ballsy strut. Donna and Bobby are perfectly in sync, the mix is great, and Jerry's on fire. Check out the Miller cleanup.

Baffling that this isn't here yet. Perfect tight ensemble playing, exhuberence and one idea flowing into another. Great recent C.Miller cleanup too.

Beautifully cleaned up version up now showcases the tight ensemble playing here. Bobby's tone is crystal clear and his fills are a treat to hear.

If you've passed by this show, you're missing out a sweetheart of a Roses here. Check out the new C.Miller clean pane of glass in the window.

New C.Miller cleanup (10/17) brings in the love. Brilliant show opener with everything '76 has to offer: Hot mellow, lyricisms, and DJG at her best.

Thanks Darkstar67! Heads have been finding new ways to keep listening for nearly sixty years!! It's great to grok another (plus the Archive's back, so bonus.)

Maybe the slowest version of the year, if not ever. Jerry's vox and solo after 'rusty strings' is passionate enough, but I can't vote for this one: Either I'm faded out or it just drags a bit too much for my taste. Didn't they get the memo that it was '76 that was supposed to be slow and '77 a bit more... uh... 'perky'?

Pigpen threatens violence: "Mr. Electrician man, if you mess with the lights we're goina hog-tie you and throw your ass out of this place." Seems like maybe the college staff was uptight about kids enjoying the show.... Go Pig!

Phil provides some lovely melodic soloing behind Bobby's country rambler's warble. Jerry's high backup vocals are just sweet sweetness. And I'm jealous of Traction here? You bet the hell I am but I wasn't born for another three months when this was played. You keep on listening old Head!

Cucamonga! Thanks for bringing me back to this show: You asked me about the Truckin' on it about NINE YEARS AGO, so sorry I took so long. But this Bertha just brings me back. Were they ever so fun in the first set as this? She bips and bops and if this doesn't get you up to dance then nothing will.
