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....

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...

The Ark

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