Keith and Jerry are manic pinball flippers bouncing their solos off each other here. Fun set closer.

Smooth and satisfying, rouses the crowd right up too. What a sweet show this is.

Fun, raucous, and rowdy, but full of tight ensemble jamming and a nice Bobby/Jerry balance, allowing you to hear Cowboy Bob's great backup work.

Jerry's voice is at his most elegant, showing some smoke. Keith is supremely intuitive and beautiful, the band goes higher and higher. Great version.

These early ones have such brilliant swagger, you can really hear the gospel power to them

Industrial cruncher. Bobby's brilliant here.

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.
