I suppose everyone knows the one the night before, but this one is tighter & more overwhelming in that all-encompassing 7/4 mindmelt way.

Airtight version with perfect orchestration. Especially sweet vocals with Donna Jean at her best. Never quite lifts off in the jam though.

How has this whole show been overlooked? I know '76 is generally undervalued, even by '70s fans, but c'mon, this is smokin' hot stuff.

Gorgeous vocals and a beautiful ensemble feel. This show is seriously underappreciated.

Fires off like a rocket. Souped up and accelerated. Is this the first LiG without the WRS to introduce it? It's a speed demon top notch version.

Jeez guys, how did five people vote for a song that wasn't even performed at this show?

Not everybody's favorite song, but not the filler it's often dismissed as either. The band plays it hot and fast, and Jerry lovingly dances over it with a thousand-and-one ideas streaming of his guitar with flourish and virtuosity.

Thanks for the tip Grendel. Mr. Charlie earns yet another star for fixing one of the biggest buzzkills of '73. Enough has been said about this show, but daaaaaaaaaaamn if it didn't just get better.
