Bobby tears it up, not just vocally, but through brilliant guitar work

No doubt with a better source this would be high up on the list. Listen to Jerry's supersonic flyby as Bobby and Donna caress the out chorus.

Help us Charlie Miller, you're our only hope! Seriously though, this is a blisteringly hot version. Don't miss it.

Club Front Studio

Very cool studio rehearsals with new grooves and wildly flanged sound. Fall '76 versions are some of the best, and here they are still in the egg.

Jerry tears this one apart with a shredding solo. The link here is bass-heavy SBD with some decay, but just brilliant playing by all.

Comes A Time

Cobo Arena

Agreed with Ernie5 here, this is a cool little one-off jam, which doesn't seem lost at all. Almost sounds like they were going into something else, but then got into one of the year's best Dancin's.

Dude 420, you are hearing that correctly. It appears the night before too. Check out this cool site on some of the recognisable jams: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/01/deads-early-thematic-jams.html

This and the stand alone on two days earlier are just bonkers-good. I love how this one comes way down for tree-skimmingly low-altitude high speed chase.
The Other One

Riverfront Arena

Weak outro though. This show has some soft spots.

Market Square Arena

Weaves in and out of the 2nd set in so many different styles and states. The wheel > jam was noted, but from the first wah-wahing introduction to the fade out into GDTRFB, this is peak '76.
