Hartford Civic Center

Good groove, and you have to love the crowd singing along and driving Jerry to give it all with his vocals

The Other One

Activity Center - University of Colorado

Comes from a great Space (and don't mind the AUD patch).

Great ending vocal jam with "Nobody's Fault but Mine" tease.

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.
And We Bid You Goodnight

Cow Palace

Really lovely arrangement with the whole band. Great version!
Morning Dew

Cow Palace

Very good version. The recording quality lets you hear all kinds of nuances between the band.
Not Fade Away
Dec. 31, 1976
Cow Palace

Good playing. I've never personally cared for the slower versions.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Dec. 31, 1976
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.
