Love these pocket sized dark stars. This one is more mini symphony than psych-jazz freak out, with clearly defined movements and not a note out of place. Dazzling and cozy, like being inside of a christmas tree

Subdued and mellow with a focused intensity that builds almost imperceptibly into an ecstatic breathtaking climax like a sudden epiphany from a seaside meditation

Ok so besides my personal fave 6/17/76 this is the champ due mostly to jer's insanely emotive solo with bends that could break even the most hardened deadhead. But also it perfectly captures that warm bouncy 78 sound i love so much. Why hasn't this killer show had an official release? Dave?

Best of 77 to these ears. Carefully and lovingly rendered heartbreaker that achieves that perfect delicate house of cards balance only the dead could pull off
