Dancin' in the Streets

Orpheum Theater

On of the post-haitus ones that stretch and groove and go every-which-way. What a treat.

Orpheum Theater

Kicks off a the second set with a jam that creeps up on you and is suddenly shredding. Cool opener in an under-the-radar show.

New Minglewood Blues

Orpheum Theater

Comes storming out the gate after 5 years on the shelf. The Devils drive this one, but everyone is on, up, and jumping.

Cassidy

Orpheum Theater

Smooth highway. Bobby and Donna in sweet harmony, and with that whiff of grace that marks the best versions of Cassidy out there.

Auditorium Theatre

Good times for all on this sweet set closer, coming out of a killer TMNS.

What more can be said about it? It's stopped me dead in my tracks and I can't move on. I've been listening to Oct. 1, 1976 now for over a month and just find more and more in this suite every time. From the SB standalone forward this show just keeps giving.

One of the best standalone Scarlets, and probably the very best of '76. Deserves to be much higher, and brings everything together perfectly.

Mershon Auditorium, OSU

These '76 versions are some of my favorite NMBs out there and this one has great oomph and swagger.

Starts off pretty sparse and mellow, but then watch out. Jerry weaves sweet line after line in the middle solo portion. Following the interlude something happens and it's in a totally different gear, grinding out power chords and Phil bombs. Fun stuff.

Well this is just a thing of great beauty that every head should hear. It's rightly famous and legendary. We'd hear stories about this day from old heads still on the tour fifteen years later.
