doesn't translate well to sitting at home in your living room by yourself
listening to it -- I'm talking about Eric's long-winded rant about drug
laws and the speed limit"

Ah, this is hilarious. I get a good laugh every time I hear it!

I agree with Skip.  My main gripe with the inclusion of the
'Dominance' rap is that I've heard Eric do a lot better on numerous
other occasions.  Also, I believe 'Live 1976' Has merit in that it
presents several songs in an 'altered state,' reflecting their
evolution as live tunes.  For instance, 'Stairway' has a different
ending, 'Dominance' uses a different lead-in to the guitar solo,
'Harvester' has a different ending, etc.  These songs all differ from
their original studio versions, and some even from prior live
recordings.  Anyway, I brought it to work today to listen to on the
headphones, and I'll come up with a capsule review later.  Just watch
what's inside those capsules before swallowing...
