Note for note brilliant. Jerry is blazing over the band with one brilliant line after another. Great set capper.

Solid emotionally charged version with a great balanced soundboard right as the Fall tour kicks into blistering hot gear.

Fall of '76 is peak time for Samsons, and this one just struts. Great feeling for this under-the-radar show.

Peak musicianship and total communication of the band at one of their most telepathic moments as a group. Jerry's vox is sublime.

Pristine rendition, now audible with thanks to C.Miller. This is a peak era Dead, with new sounds and balance even in the straight rockers.

Pity about that string. Was chuggin' along pretty standard until around minute 07:00, then then turned the burners on and bit into it hard.

This will blister your brain. Hot doesn't even begin to describe it: This is supernova.

Thanks bro! Let me know what you think. Maybe "best 1st set" would be more likely. But the Truckin' and TOO from what we have of the 2nd set are both just amazing. Enjoy!

The cruelest cut I've ever found in any show.
