St. Paul Auditorium

Mindblowing jams reminiscent of the massive '72s. Check out Jer and Phil interplay around 10:00.

Third time performed and still a bit loose in the joints, but tighter and funkier than Dane County 2 days earlier.

Dane County Coliseum

Mellow in places, shredding in others, goes in and out of off-the-rails trippyness but doesn't meltdown. Why isn't this one already here?

Brilliant, lightning-speed Jerry soloing behind Bobby. Worth many a listen in a great great show.

Fun and enthusiastic, if not just a little loose in the joints. Good energy and a great show all around.

Spanish Jam in the outro is so beautiful. What a treat the heads got in Boston.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Tower Theatre

Great up-and-jumping opener and you can tell from the first moments that they were much tighter than the previous night. Both are great and classic shows, but they're just musically more in sync to this head's ears.

Beautiful interlude section before the last out jam. Jerry's cruising at high speed behind the swimming ooohs and ahhs in great beauty.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Tower Theater

The Help is not as strong or tight as others, and kind of hollows out at one point, but the Slipknot more than makes up for it by getting good and weird. Keith on the Rhodes gives it that great '74 wicked voodoo sound and plays up great phasing effects with Bobby around minute six. The band is waaaaaay loose, but it all sort of comes together. There's something like mic. static or a blown monitor at one point, but even this contributes to the journey.

Has that verge-of-chaos feeling where the jam takes off in 100 different directions while the pulse moves you closer and closer to a full-on dance trance. Nice catch.
