Solid shitkicker. "As usual, dedicated to our equipment crew". Lol, Bobby.

Sweet slow buildup to an explosion of emotion and Jer's flying guitar work. A strong version.

Powerful version. Is the only reason it's not yet here because only AUDs exist? Jeez Heads, get it together!

Absolute ripper. Band sounds like they started warm and heated up. Great first set.

Not my favorite WRS of the year, but one of my favorite LIGs. They just crush the jam coming out of the lyrics, as the man said.

Very hot version from a chronically underrated show.

This song was still in its infancy and to my ears this is the first one that really tuned into to the freaky frequencies that turn the best ones into the high-potency medicine that can either keep you grounded or freak you out: The off-kilter, odd meter, voices-in-the-head "na-na-na-na-nas", the protagonist's screaming madness, and the triumph of Jerry's solo on the edge of sacred illumination. Here's the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIXnAXfjzD4.

Play this for anyone who thinks '76 is 'too slow'. They are way up on top of this on and Billy and Mickey just open it up and own it.

Thanks darkstar67! I'll check that out. I love how the Tapers Section just keeps on keeping on. I dig the Tobin Matrix for this show too :https://archive.org/details/gd1976-06-10.matrix.tobin.84985.sbeok.flac16/gd76-06-10d2t07.flac
