Not Fade Away

Spectacular thrashing jam. Jerry has an agressive metal sound that I like to call the "Dangerous Dead" from the era.

Attics of My Life

For a song notoriously difficult to sing, this one comes of beautifully. June 6th is better, but good to hear them in sequence as the worked on it.

Hard to figure that this isn't here already: sweet acoustic intimacy and a clear '70 AUD that does it for me.

Intimate expression of this song's first, acoustic, right off the LP era. A bit slower, but great vocals and 3-part harmonies.

Pure goodness. Warm AUD, intimate sound. This is the gold.

Samson and Delilah

Even though the cleanup isn't so clear, Bobby is audible in the mix, which gives a good sense of what it could sound like if the magic soundboard ever gets found.... Apparently there isn't anything in the vault from this show.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Brilliant extended Slipknot, and one of the Franklin's that I used to dream about. The outro is sublime.

Don't let the B/B+ sound quality scare you away from this beast. Tremendous energy on this one. Deserves more votes!

Sounds like a bit of a tuning issue at first, but they sharpen up and roll on. "Majestic" describes it perfectly. This one goes an extra mile, extending gloriously on and sweeping you away with it.

Great show opener for this mostly overlooked show. The McDonald cleanup of the only known source is most welcome.
