It's got everything nice about the '76 sound: Crisp and clean while laid back. Perfect execution.

Bobby's warmup after a CRS opener helps kick off one of the best 1st sets of 1976. Part of the brief era when they mic'd and mixed Donna beautifully

Gets right weird as part of a deep PITB sammy. How many first set spacemelts are there in '76? Something in the water for this hometown show???

How these guys (and gal) could turn such a cheese-ball song into massive lift-off spaceship jam event horizon is a modern miracle of music.

Smooth running, out of a very cool, thematically coherent Drums. Beautiful harmonies. Every Wheel is an elegant treat from '76, and this is a beaut.

Brilliant extended Slipknot, and one of the Franklin's that I used to dream about. The outro is sublime.

Don't let the B/B+ sound quality scare you away from this beast. Tremendous energy on this one. Deserves more votes!

Sounds like a bit of a tuning issue at first, but they sharpen up and roll on. "Majestic" describes it perfectly. This one goes an extra mile, extending gloriously on and sweeping you away with it.

Great show opener for this mostly overlooked show. The McDonald cleanup of the only known source is most welcome.

Jerry belts it out with power, puts real oomph into it.
