A rare and different tune. Real nice transition into epic Playin-UJB from Go to Nassau...

Stunned this ain't here yet. Next night is a famous one. But this 2nd set opener is strong and rugged. Nice moment at "born to be a bachelor..."

Wow! Can't believe this hasn't made the cut yet. Rips and roars out of poignant China Doll. Almost become a Smokestack... Super strong show!

DeadBase calls it a Dark Star Jam. There is not much of a hint of a Dark Star-ish melody, and the date is debatable. But everyone needs to hear this!!

Superb! These 2 shows are remembered for the historic Stephen, but it's far from the only highlight!!!

Builds beautifully. Both these Garden shows are excellent.

Best? Perhaps... Rollicks, rolls, charges full steam ahead!
Eyes Of The World

The jam out is listed separate on Dave's, but it's really one Eyes, and that jam is excellent! Great sandwich. Out of Other One space, back into Other One....

Might be # 1. The outro/coda jam is so beautiful (blissful is maybe the word!) and leads to a mighty excellent sequence (fierce O1-Eyes,etc., eventually to a fantastic NFA 2nd encore...). Very different from 5/9/77, but just as powerful. I'd say it's a tie for first. I'm a huge fan of Buffalo.... But my wife and I were driving along the coast of Maine and this jam kicked in and.... Wow. Forgot how mighty it is.... Dave's 18. Overall, as great a show as any ever! One of the best of '76 without a doubt!
