These early ones have such brilliant swagger, you can really hear the gospel power to them

Such floating beauty, you can feel the tires humming down the highway. Part of a magic Playin' sammy too. Everything about this is brilliant.

Just exactly perfect here. Bobby and Donna were perfection in '76, The little AUD patch doesn't hurt at all. Jerry and the Devils tear it up.

Donna and Bobby in perfect sync, beautifully harmonizing, and backed up with brilliant Jerry fretwork. '76 was Donna's best year by far.

Short set opener, but if there's one where Donna saves it all with breathy ahhhs and mmmms, it's this one. Gentle whispers around 03:30.

This scorcher will amaze you. Jerry burns with the force of a thousand suns. Really.

The "It Factor" is dialed way up past 11 here folks. Don't skip this show. Strap on some headphones and cross that Rio-o-o-o Grande. This one is a beaut. I keep using the word "powerful" to describe their playing on this show and I think it's apt. Check out an under-the-radar MHUT and enjoy!

The Devils take this one to the races. The whole set is one colossal jam after another.

The jam out of this is so good. It sounds like half the band is playing Playin' and the other half is playing The Other One. Could some one with better ears than mine tell me if that's right? Are they jamming 6/8 over 10/4 for a patch? Wild.

Like the Playin' in this epic 2nd set, this TOO is more fired up and heavy than a lot of the other '76 versions. I think it captures the pre-hiatus danger and hard rock sound (like the Playin' too). Maybe the presence of The Who inspired them to put more firepower on their set? Who knows, but they were rockin' it with ferocious intensity here.
