Pity the SQ is so flat, as this one cooks up nice and hot, with some extra melodicism in the outro jam before D>TOO. This show needs a SBD infusion.

hard to believe this big beast hasn't been tagged yet: Experimental, interesting, and at 23min, a nice long ride.

Only the 2nd one they played after it went into circulation, and it conveys all the emotion and poetry of this wonderful song. Sing something Phil!

For a song notoriously difficult to pull off live, this one is just beautiful. Succinct, harmonious, deliberate: All good, in spite of AUD quality.

Great transition into Rider here. Really strong '72 ensemble playing. Sound quality is only about a B though.

The piano is really high up in the mix, especially on the archive version, almost to the point where it sounds like a totally different arrangement. Interesting... but I wouldn't call it as one of my favorites.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Really special Slipknot > Drums here. On its own the Slip is amazing, but I swear that half the band is trying to go into Dancin' in the Streets, making for a really beautiful transition back out of the Drum section. It's definitely there in the alchemical mix, but 'twas not to be.

Jerry sounds positively joyous. This song always brought on the good times, but this one is really worth something extra.

Thank you Charlie Miller! Could you be a lurker on this site??? Yes or no, your work has given me/us 1000s of hours of pleasure. This cleanup should put this Eyes way up higher on the list, and the whole show too.

The new mixes by Charlie Miller make this previously underrated show a great pleasure. This NFBM jam simmers and bubbles, crackling with energy. So nice to revisit this show with a new sound.
