I usually hate Berry berries in the last slot, but they murder many of these this year

> out of D/S. Sounds like the hint some towards Stella in Space, and I dug the left turn into Truckin first.

Dark Star
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This works so well. The Dark Star expands to space, and Bobby's strumming emerges. At the end of the song, we re-enter the same space we left like nothing ever happened, like El Paso was a dream.

Really lovely arrangement with the whole band. Great version!

Very good version. The recording quality lets you hear all kinds of nuances between the band.
Not Fade Away

Good playing. I've never personally cared for the slower versions.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Cow Palace

Gets an upvote for how good Jerry's vocals sound on "Help" alone. "Slipknot" is quite out there and the good recording quality lets you hear all the little nuances as the band interacts.
