Bobby tears it up, not just vocally, but through brilliant guitar work

No doubt with a better source this would be high up on the list. Listen to Jerry's supersonic flyby as Bobby and Donna caress the out chorus.

Help us Charlie Miller, you're our only hope! Seriously though, this is a blisteringly hot version. Don't miss it.

Dancin' in the Streets

Club Front Studio

Very cool studio rehearsals with new grooves and wildly flanged sound. Fall '76 versions are some of the best, and here they are still in the egg.

The Music Never Stopped

Roosevelt Stadium

Jerry tears this one apart with a shredding solo. The link here is bass-heavy SBD with some decay, but just brilliant playing by all.

Beat it on Down The Line

Baby Bobby: Shimmy shimmy shake shake, baby baby baby! This is twisty rock and roller Baby Bobby stuff here. Consider for a moment that he was 18 years old at this point. Hot damn.

Brilliant rarity.

Listening to all of '66 and this feels like the very first fully realized one.
Cold Rain and Snow

Fans of this song need to hear this! It's down to the bare bones, young, raw and full of passion.
I Know You Rider

You'd almost call this a Phil song at this point in the early history of the band. So cool to hear it in its infancy.
