Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 28, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

High energy and zigzagging, this is a fast one. Supplication is tons of fun, even if they don't quite stick the landing.

Looks Like Rain

Brilliant rise to a climactic finish. Jerry soloing like a man possessed behind sweet Bobby/Donna '76 harmonies. Nice one.

Promised Land

Up and jumping show opener from the first note. Keith's solo is brilliant.

Samson and Delilah

Auditorium Theatre

Way up tempo, sparkling and crispy with enough of both the gospel saint and the heretic sinner to make this one much fun. The '76s are just brilliant.

Whole lot of fun here. Sounds like they meant it on this one. Closes out a great first set.

Ramble On Rose

Jerry pours it on. The vocals are some of his most energetic ever.
Greatest Story Ever Told
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

A wild ride to open the set. Jerry knocks it out of the park with his tone as metallic and sharp as it ever was. Hot version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Very well mixed on the E72 complete set. The sound is just perfect, with every instrument ringing clear. Killer transition here. And the whole first set just rocks from minute one.
Black Throated Wind

Bickershaw Festival

Perfect emotional arc to the lyrics, captures the essence of this song.
The Other One
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Can't believe I hadn't already voted for this mega-monster. Very heavy jams and a wild edge-of-madness ride between the extraordinarily virtuoso and the random meltdown so present in the best that '74 has to offer. Sounds like Ned Lagin is sitting in for part of it? I hear wild electronica all over from about 09:00 in.
