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
June 28, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

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

Promised Land
June 28, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

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

Samson and Delilah
June 27, 1976
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.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Uptempo, but with some wicked jams that get a bit dark in places. Still, it's a blazing hot Playin' that should get more love than it has here. The Jerry Moore AUD on the archive covers the unpatched gap on the more popular soundboard version.
Bird Song
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

This one has a muscular, intense energy to it. Comparing this show to the one the night before is no contest. They were on all night here.
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

The best Cumberlands have that feeling of being slightly out of control, like a coal car speeding down tracks laid deep in the mine, losing breaks, blowing switches and shooting sparks. This one's got it in aces.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Tremendous emotional arc from cool strut at the beginning rising rising into a walk-through-walls powerful climax. '72 was indeed a killer year for this chronically under-estimated monster.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

A stunner. Beautiful, emotive playing that prefigures the absolute apogee of WR (June '74) by almost two years. Probably to best song of the show, too.
