Stella Blue

Star Lake Amphitheater

Jerry's guitar scorches throughout, with genuine pin drop moments, followed by sweeping beauty. Coda laments for Stella are short but sweet.

Surprised it's not here. Epic show, one of the best of the 80s.

Superb! These 2 shows are remembered for the historic Stephen, but it's far from the only highlight!!!

Best? Perhaps... Rollicks, rolls, charges full steam ahead!
Eyes Of The World

Orpheum Theatre

The jam out is listed separate on Dave's, but it's really one Eyes, and that jam is excellent! Great sandwich. Out of Other One space, back into Other One....

Orpheum Theatre

Might be # 1. The outro/coda jam is so beautiful (blissful is maybe the word!) and leads to a mighty excellent sequence (fierce O1-Eyes,etc., eventually to a fantastic NFA 2nd encore...). Very different from 5/9/77, but just as powerful. I'd say it's a tie for first. I'm a huge fan of Buffalo.... But my wife and I were driving along the coast of Maine and this jam kicked in and.... Wow. Forgot how mighty it is.... Dave's 18. Overall, as great a show as any ever! One of the best of '76 without a doubt!
