| Dick's Review | Rob (Bertando) said that this was the highlight of the 6 nights at the Orpheum theater and it certainly blew my mind. It has the best Fenario (Peggy-O) and Sugaree that I’ve yet heard and the jam from the 2nd set will definitely stand out as one of the finest performances ever. | |

| Dick's 2nd Review | The only fault with this tape is that there is a periodic fluctuation on volume throughout the show. | |

| Dick's 3rd Review | This 2nd set jam is really one of the best from any year. Yet alone 1976 when things didn’t have that much urgency. | |

| Dick's 4th Review | I must comment on how exceptional this recording feels to me. This period of taping, this has to rank as one of the finest. Also, I should correct the impression I tried to create for Sugaree. It is pretty good but not close to later versions. Also the jam section, flowing out of a fine version of Comes A Time is very tasty and a highlight of the show. The Other One is surprisingly exciting! The 2nd jam section has a mile, spacey, style that is very “introverted.” Then suddenly it explodes into a mini-mind-scramble. That certainly is a major highlight of this show. This same jam section continues another style that is also quite exceptional. Eyes Of The World is very nice and the following jam section has a development that is easily the highlight of the show. One of those riffs/themes that only occurs once or twice or maybe a few times in a career. The transition back to The Other One is quite thrilling |
