Bobby's warmup after a CRS opener helps kick off one of the best 1st sets of 1976. Part of the brief era when they mic'd and mixed Donna beautifully

Gets right weird as part of a deep PITB sammy. How many first set spacemelts are there in '76? Something in the water for this hometown show???

How these guys (and gal) could turn such a cheese-ball song into massive lift-off spaceship jam event horizon is a modern miracle of music.

Smooth running, out of a very cool, thematically coherent Drums. Beautiful harmonies. Every Wheel is an elegant treat from '76, and this is a beaut.

On of the post-haitus ones that stretch and groove and go every-which-way. What a treat.

Hey deadheadben, are you doing a chronological thing through 1970? I'm just about finished (up to 26 December now) and have loved it. There's so much variety and change, buried treasures in murky AUDs and of course the great acoustic stuff. I took my time and spiced it up whenever I wanted to hear something else, but kept at it. I've done the same with '73, '74, '75 (easy), and '71, so next is either '76 or '72.... Enjoy it man... I sure have. Peace.

Some tape speed problems, though definitely smokin'.

The antidote to anyone who things that all of '76 crawls along at a soporific pace: this one cooks!

Cool black and white video of the whole concert on at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmr3o0_92f0 The band is so tight and the fun is in the air. Very nice transition into Sup.
