Overlooked show probably due to the middle AUD quality, but listen here and you get pure Jerry perfection, plus a possible explosion on stage.

Beautifully ensconced in a delicious 2nd set framed by a great Dancin'. On its own this one is pure and lovely. Great Fall '76 show.

Bobby throws a little bit more chaw into this one. It's full of spit and loads of fun. Great first set all around.

A blissful, soaring example of GD ensemble playing. Starts just a bit loose, but by the out chorus it's just amazing.

Summer '76 definitely brought out the best in Bobby and Donna as a vocal duo; and this early run also showcases Keith in his endlessly inventive cascading glory. This is a great version (alright, there are a few loose in the joints transitions, but it's the GD we're listening too, not Glenn Gould) that should have more than 2 votes!

Funny moment where half the band goes into double time a chorus before the other half. A lesser band would have trainwrecked, but they pulled it together in the end. Cool slower version, though.

This isn't just about the passionate vocals, but about the tremendous ensemble playing. Keith delivers perfect accents, the intensity swells and fades at brilliant moments, and Donna's sweet touches make this one unforgettable.

This is so hot. How this band jammed in 7/4 with such liquid flow is mind-boggling. Any musicians out there can confirm: It's an unforgiving time signature. Here they make it seem as easy as breathing, inspired and driven, and as wild as the lightning adrenaline Bobby's singing about.

Uptempo and crackling with electric energy. This is another one to play any '76 skeptics out there who think everything was just too mellow!
