Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Ramble On Rose
Sept. 25, 1976
Capital Centre

There's a lot more grit and gravel in Jerry's voice on this one than on most from the era. I think he and Bobby poured on some heat to warm up at the start of this set, with the Minglewood before this one really blazing as well.

The piano is really high up in the mix, especially on the archive version, almost to the point where it sounds like a totally different arrangement. Interesting... but I wouldn't call it as one of my favorites.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 24, 1976
William and Mary College Hall

Really special Slipknot > Drums here. On its own the Slip is amazing, but I swear that half the band is trying to go into Dancin' in the Streets, making for a really beautiful transition back out of the Drum section. It's definitely there in the alchemical mix, but 'twas not to be.

Jerry sounds positively joyous. This song always brought on the good times, but this one is really worth something extra.
Eyes Of The World

Nassau Coliseum

Thank you Charlie Miller! Could you be a lurker on this site??? Yes or no, your work has given me/us 1000s of hours of pleasure. This cleanup should put this Eyes way up higher on the list, and the whole show too.
