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!

Coliseum Stadium

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

Peppier and jazzier than most post-hiatus, this one is a keeper in my book.

Yup, this one delivers as advertised. Phil's chunky bass licks in the opening measures signal this beast that keeps growing. Let it Grow!

This version smokes! Keith really lays down some heat on his solo. I appreciate Dick slating this show for release, but the energetic AUD source works better for this night.

Baltimore Civic Center

More mellow than 3/16 or the ones from the previous month. There's a two minute segment in the middle where Keith takes the spotlight. Less gusto is made up for with more introspection and precision. A sleeper version for sure!

Boston Garden

Yup, the coda is the story here. Extra spice n' spunk.
