But this volume has a lot more going for it than just five hours-plus of music 1976 marked the return of the band to the road after a 20-month hiatus with Mickey Hart back in tow for the first time in five years, and it is a newly rejuvenated outfit we hear playing a mix of the new (Lazy Lightnin , Supplication) and old (St. Stephen and the rare Cosmic Charlie, which appears on the Landover show s set list for the last time ever). Perhaps the most sublime moment is the transition from Comes a Time to Eyes of the World (and then to the out-of-nowhere Orange Tango Jam) during the second set of the Syracuse show, but both shows are full of sparkling performances propelled by the newly reunited Rhythm Devils. Another keeper from the vaults.
