The last halfstep of '76. After Rio Grandeo everyone including the crowd gets into it. The source is a B+ AUD.

This one is fiery, especially the solo, in the vein of 8/24/80, including a hint of a Delilah Jones growl.

Very nice. Bob takes a rare solo in between Brent and Jerry.

I think this is top 10 and the video certainly helps to make that case. It's hard to watch the second solo and say otherwise. If, on the other hand, videos existed of, say 12/28/79 and a bunch of others, we would have a different landscape to be sure.

I like the matrix for this one. The reverb of the AUD makes the dreamy intro even dreamier.
