To my ears, Bob's best overall performance here, and the whole band really seems to be feeding off the same special energy

Quite possibly vastly underrated...Keith's work is magnificent, and he is obviously feeling it from the start in this show

Based on set list alone, the jam portion stands out...this Terrapin kicks it off very powerfully

The '76 Cassidys are laid back for sure, but this one and the entire show lope like no other, and in the best possible way. Epic PeggyO, Mission, Jed, epic top-to-bottom

Your analysis may have merit...all I can say is that I love listening to this version...maybe it's the moodiness, or the Phil-heaviness, but whatever it is, it is awesome...there may be better versions, but this one is pretty great to my ears

...Listen to this and just TRY not to grin from ear to ear...especially the banter before it
