Dec. '72 turns out to be a nice little peak for BEW. Perfect shuffle, air-play tightness, great soloing, just enough country. Bobby nicely audible.

A super-fun frolicing romp. They just seem to have loved playing this tune.

Pristine, air-play quality in a deep pocket with note-for-note perfection all 'round. Surprised not to see it here already.

Smokin' desperado polka here with superbly tight playing at a faster-than normal pace. A galloping riot and heaps of fun.

Shredding goodness, coming late in the set after a killer Star>Stella. Great show all around.

One of the melodically most inventive Dark Stars ever. This one has infinity all over it and makes me smile smile smile each time I hear it. Lots of Phil weirdness and electronica, too - sounds like what he'd be doing in '74 with Seastones.

Slower than versions earlier in the tour. Not so much a hymn of bursting springtime joy but more a long mellow ride in the hot summer sun.

Full of exploring jams, cool Slipknot teases mid-way through and just the right amount of joyful chaos, with a really cool blues jam for the last 30 seconds that could have gone elswhere, but landed in a Stella. Great version.

High-octane jam. Brilliant interplay between everybody.

But agreed! The vocals are outstanding and the collective improv is just jaw droppingly good. Not to overstate it, but the whole 3rd set is explosively good.
