Such floating beauty, you can feel the tires humming down the highway. Part of a magic Playin' sammy too. Everything about this is brilliant.

Just exactly perfect here. Bobby and Donna were perfection in '76, The little AUD patch doesn't hurt at all. Jerry and the Devils tear it up.

Donna and Bobby in perfect sync, beautifully harmonizing, and backed up with brilliant Jerry fretwork. '76 was Donna's best year by far.

Short set opener, but if there's one where Donna saves it all with breathy ahhhs and mmmms, it's this one. Gentle whispers around 03:30.

Playin' In The Band

Sounds unequivocally '72 from start to finish, predicting where this monster goes between Europe and Oregon in a few short months. Should be waaaaaay higher.

Pig/Keith chemistry out the wazoo, and that's not something you hear everyday. They're just perfect together.

Show is languishing down in the 2-3 votes per range, which doesn't do it justice at all. This is a smokin' barnburner. They were entirely in the zone from note one by this point in the tour. Give it an up.

MerryJerry, I've just been cramming them into Space, finally. There's no slot on here for "Phil & Ned" either, so I just overlook the anachronism and call it Space.

DonnieinMT, I'm real curious if you've got other dark stars that do it for you. Based on your comment, I think you're just not into spacey jams. Me, I could dig this one all night though, and its transitive nightfall is deservedly near the top of the list. The fact that they're all thumb wrestling throughout it to find their ways back into form and melody, but clearly having too good a time to stop, sets the tone just right. Where else could they go after starting each set with killer Playin's and Morning Dews?
