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..."

Madison Square Garden

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!!

Great version! Great show!
The Wheel
June 15, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Can't believe this isn't here already! Nice! All Wheels of 76 are amazing and gorgeous, no matter how short and sweet. Tremendous show. This Wheel is nearly as great as the one from the night before. And so is the show. Tremendous. Flows out of groovy Dancin' into powerful Sugar Mag-Scarlet-Sunshine...

If we count the jam after drums as still the Alligator (and...why not?!), then absolutely, gotta agree... really cool Alligator!!!
Viola Lee Blues

The Ark
