Nice soulful 69 version of Baby Blue, they should have played this more in the coming decade.

This is awesome, check out Bobby's rap - "freedom 1 and freedom 2".
All Along the Watchtower
April 15, 1989
The Mecca

Great sounding version, one of the better covers they did in the late 80s.
Dark Star
July 25, 1974
International Amphitheater

This is amazing, one of my favorites ever! Jazzy DS with no low points, even has a Let It Grow tease in addition to the Slipknot! jamming. This should be rated much higher.
Blow Away

The Mecca

Brent gives a nice Pigpen style rap in this one, pretty cool.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 25, 1974

Super long jam in China Cat.
