Airplay perfect. Seems like they wanted to pick up the pace a bit and this one is just fine and dandy.

Muscular and confident, not at all dragging. Don't overlook it. It's brilliant and perfect coming in a blazingly good show and great 2nd set.

This one cooks. Keith puts on a master class of the old razzle dazzle.

Nice reference Cucamonga! Just listened to the Live at Pompeii version today to start my morning. Does anyone know if the Dead and Pink Floyd ever crossed paths? Played the same festival? Any historians out there?
Samson and Delilah
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Samson highlights the return of Mickey and the two-drummer line-up like no other song in the '76 repertoire. Plus this one bumps and struts like a straight-up power gospel. The Dead didn't always get you to church, but this one definitely has the touch of the spirit.
St. Stephen

Auditorium Theatre

Wild fun and a great party ride on this Stephen, which is a bit more uptempo than others from '76. Has the sense of the bell ringing out in triumph towards the end that marks the best ones for me. I love the slightly shaggy looseness of this whole PITB-SS-Wheel-PITB sammy.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Captures the kaleidoscopic carousel feeling better than a lot of others on this list. This whole first set is full of inspired jams, and you can here it hear in the expansive jam transition to Supplication. Charlie Miller's version does it for me... so strap on the headphones and set yourself up for a stunner.

Sweet and delicate with beautiful orchestration towards the climax. Donna and Jerry sound glorious in the outro.
