Ballsy strut. Donna and Bobby are perfectly in sync, the mix is great, and Jerry's on fire. Check out the Miller cleanup.

Baffling that this isn't here yet. Perfect tight ensemble playing, exhuberence and one idea flowing into another. Great recent C.Miller cleanup too.

Beautifully cleaned up version up now showcases the tight ensemble playing here. Bobby's tone is crystal clear and his fills are a treat to hear.

If you've passed by this show, you're missing out a sweetheart of a Roses here. Check out the new C.Miller clean pane of glass in the window.

New C.Miller cleanup (10/17) brings in the love. Brilliant show opener with everything '76 has to offer: Hot mellow, lyricisms, and DJG at her best.

Dancin' in the Streets
April 26, 1977

Who has a working link to the video??? Every link mentioned on the Archive comments, e-tree, and setlists.net all appear to be broken. I looove this show, and wouldn't give it a C audio quality. Arguably a B- though, so agreed it may explain the lack of love. This is a great transitional Dancin' full of wah wah and a long Bobby + Jerry dippin' and gliding, slippin' and slidin' transition vamp outro. Fun fun dance along stuff.

Not sure I agree with Catalonia: The pre-and post-Rio-grande solos are both brilliant. Jerry builds a recurrent rhythmic theme higher and higher up to the emotional breakthrough. He knows exactly what he's doing and the band is tight behind him all the way. Great '77 stuff here folks, and don't let the AUD scare you off.

If there's a video post the link please! This is a hot version for sure, with a big anthemic out-chorus to close out the set. Love this energy, but with some AUD issues suffers by proximity to some of the other shows of the 'peak '77' era.

Keith's razzle dazzle is in full form. Short version, but tight and fun to close out a helluva first set.

Magic. This show is wall-to-wall highlights, but this... this is just top shelf. Bobby and Donna nail the harmonies throughout, Phil gives the master class and Jerry is simultaneously peaking after peaking as the soloist while somehow tucked away under the singers, supporting it all.
