Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This one takes a bit before the boys get their footing, but once they do, LOOK OUT. Choice peak in this throbber

SCREAMING start to the show. Boys attack like rabid dogs. Great Brent solo in here. Welcome to Red Rocks!

This one opens up nicely, and continually unfolds, into a seamless segue into PITB reprise

Boutwell Auditorium

They are playing in Birmingham, the song mentions Birmingham, mass crowd hysteria ensues. Hot version though, so justifiable

Really melodic jam, which builds incrementally in velocity and intensity - then, screaming sunshine daydream

Extremely intentional and well-paced playing. Jerry's vocals are perfect

^Grendel's comment (per usual) nailed it. I love the loose, flowing '76 versions of Eyes and this one is a perfect example. Beautiful and airy

I was very surprised to see the mix in reception for this classic version. Recently respun, twice, and this still holds up fantastically. Super tight Help, explorative Split with some great team jamming, and a triumphant Frank's. Not sure what more you can ask for. This one always has a well-deserved place in my heart.

God, I wish they kept this in rotation... The communication between Jerry's riffs and Pig's raps are insanely good. This track rips

This is absolutely mesmerizing. The crowning jewel in an all-timer show. The connectivity with the band, the ramp up peak, then quieter jamming is so creative and precise. To me, this is infinitely better than any of the disco-laced '77 and beyond versions, which are great no doubt, but are this is in a whole other league of awesome
