Pristine rendition, now audible with thanks to C.Miller. This is a peak era Dead, with new sounds and balance even in the straight rockers.

Such fun. Has a swagger and strut like the best, but a bit more fun and light. Thanks to C. Miller we can hear it now. Cheers, sir!

Bobby and Phil help out the unconscious, the bug-eyed, and the two-dimensional.

So sweet and sad, with a giant of a solo and crisp harmonising.

Pigpen’s vox is just amazing here (as always). Great show.

Beautiful mellow '76 Stephen jam flows oh-so-nicely into and out of a smooth and fine NFA.

One really beautiful idea after another. Slightly rough sound quality, but one rare beauty from this short rotation. I had this on cassette back in the 80s and damn near wore it out.

Think this is a Bobby song? Listen to Jerry just tear through it with his torrential downpour of one musical idea after another, his notes like so many raindrops by the million.

Thanks for the shoutout Darkstar67. ‘76 remains the best-kept secret year for the 70s. I think it gains from its loose and understated qualities. It isn’t slick - maybe the one thing I’d say against the perfection of the next year - but warm and cozy.

The transition from LIG is just brilliant. Jerry won't let go and kicks into it like nobody's business. What follows is Grateful Dead magic. This whole show is an under-the-radar masterpiece.
