Community War Memorial Auditorium

Stunning. Chronically underrated song in a chronically underrated year: Listen to Jerry blaze through this like a man with 100 fingers.

Note for note brilliant. Jerry is blazing over the band with one brilliant line after another. Great set capper.

Solid emotionally charged version with a great balanced soundboard right as the Fall tour kicks into blistering hot gear.

Fall of '76 is peak time for Samsons, and this one just struts. Great feeling for this under-the-radar show.

Peak musicianship and total communication of the band at one of their most telepathic moments as a group. Jerry's vox is sublime.

Sweet one, if not a little bit scrambled to start.

Catches onto a powerful pulse around 7:30 in as they head to the outro. Seems like they sped up a bit from the beginning to the end, but that might just be me.

Closes out a perfect first set. The drummers are a psychic octopus of tight grooveness, Donna sounds as good as she ever did, and Jerry floats idea after idea and kisses everyone right smack on the third eye. Just brilliant monster mash from Keith too. What fun.

Phil swoops, Donna and Keith soar, the drummers are in perfect mindmeld and Jerry does what Jerry does. This is as fun as it gets with the great Scarlet solo pieces before she met her FTM life partner.

A perfect version. Everything about this one is solid. The show the next night gets all the attention, but this set on the 28th is just beautiful.
