Samson and Delilah

Orpheum Theater

Full of strut. The band is in perfect form, everyone is on. Precise, strong, and full of swagger.

Might As Well

Orpheum Theater

Barnburning storm burster so strong it blows out speakers around 03:30 in. Kicks off the party with Jerry in full form, vox and guitar.

New Minglewood Blues
July 18, 1976
Orpheum Theater

Maybe not everyone's favorite song (or anyone's), but this is the ballsiest most swaggering one since they busted it out. Great mix helps, too.

Cassidy

Orpheum Theater

Note for note perfection. Cassidy was a blazing glory during this whole Summer tour.

Johnny B. Goode

Orpheum Theatre

Keith could play a piano just like ringing a bell. Jeez, but he just slays it here. Show this to your kid learning the keyboard, damn.

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
Sept. 24, 1976
William and Mary College Hall

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.
Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

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.
