The previous night's version was tasty, but this one is delicious. The nomination for this one is long overdue. The whole show is quintessential '76

Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

Me and My Uncle

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

Field House - Seneca College

^Well said. The outro on this one is second to none! Jerry's axe wails, moans & screams with raw emotion. This one is not for the feeble minded or faint hearted.

The band is amped! My go-to version from a stellar year.
Ramble On Rose

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Powerhouse version! A kindred sibling to 7/8/78.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Gotta love the call and response banter between Bobby & Donna. The band was having fun tonight, and it's obvious from this version - and the show as a whole - that they came to play!
Eyes Of The World

Huntington Civic Center

One of the best Estimated->Eyes pairings out there. It seems to get better with each listen. This is among the top shelf shows of '78, and this Betty Board is extra crispy.
