I suppose everyone knows the one the night before, but this one is tighter & more overwhelming in that all-encompassing 7/4 mindmelt way.

The Music Never Stopped

Airtight version with perfect orchestration. Especially sweet vocals with Donna Jean at her best. Never quite lifts off in the jam though.

How has this whole show been overlooked? I know '76 is generally undervalued, even by '70s fans, but c'mon, this is smokin' hot stuff.

Gorgeous vocals and a beautiful ensemble feel. This show is seriously underappreciated.

Fires off like a rocket. Souped up and accelerated. Is this the first LiG without the WRS to introduce it? It's a speed demon top notch version.

Love the deep weirdness. Love the acid drenching. Love 1973. This He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes is immortal.

Charlie Miller saves the day (again), and I hope the first 2/3 of this show are on his "to do" list. Count me in with the Jort Army as "Commander Crow", including the Weir(d) uniforms, just so long as our weapons stay limited to day-glo paint-filled squirtguns and ozone friendly silly-string canisters.
Here Comes Sunshine

Dark Sunshine: Heads get only 12 months of this beauty (Feb. '73 to Feb. '74 before 18 years on the shelf). Every version builds and builds and this is the first to leave orbit and reach into deep space. Historical and beautiful.

Jerry, Keith and Phil's brilliant musicianship on display - can't really hear Bobby in my mix, though. This one smokes.
