Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

There was nothing like a Terrapin in the Garden! Into drums-quick-weird-almost-Close Encounters-Spanish Jam-rip-roaring Truckin' in the Garden....

One of the best Scarlet-Fires of the Vince era.

Just noticing how underrated this show is. Wow. It even has an excellent Walking Blues!

This tune basically bookended Bruce's first five night run as a member of the gang. It's a great version to boot. Not too many dry eyes in the house. Jerry's voice at the end said a lot. Kinda shocked this show doesn't have more love. Great show.

Gotta agree. After the pure perfection of 8/13/75 and the beauty of 6/14/76, this one is right there with the best of them. Amazing. Thanks in a big way to Bruce! When they pick up the pace and begin the surge into UJB, lilting and gorgeous.
