Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Nassau Coliseum

Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.

Nassau Coliseum

Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.

Playin' In The Band

Swing Auditorium

Jerry has laryngitis, so only Bobby tunes set 2 this day, and Keith Godchaux takes over the 2nd half of this PITB, especially the last 5 minutes.

City Island

This is an eleven minute Deal with a bunch of ebbs, flows and peaks.

The Other One
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A thunderous entrance and then they let it all hang out. Even though this is late 76, this bears little resemblance to the mellow 77s. It may be a bit sloppy at times, but nothing is left on the tee. I’ve been putting this on lately when I want to get fired up.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

Chilled out Fire. Very relaxed

Swing Auditorium

The intro flows and sparkles like the best 77s and the climax of the second solo break is powerful stuff. A highlight of a really consistently good show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

A great Scarlet and a fun transition. The Fire is good, but it doesn't dislodge too many '77s from the perches.

I rarely seek this song out, but I was listening to this show today, and I loved it. The flourish at the end is perfect.
