Oddly out there, ending a great trilogy of Half Step-Franklin's.

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!
