HOT version, outro is a bit fast, in keeping with the entire era. But Jerry's leads are on fire, sounds straight outta 74

Not Fade Away

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This is awesome but sorry, there is nothing good about Bobby's screaming at the end. Almost ruins the whole thing for me (and he does the same damn thing on the otherwise stellar 10/31/71 version). Absent the caterwauling, this would be tops.

great version -- flawlessly executed and perfect tempo!

This is really nice -- great middle jam and great outro jam. I'm still partial to the late 72 and all of 1973 for this song (seriously, Kezar should be tops). But this one may be the best post-73 version.

Just nuts how freaking well every song at this show is played!

The Spectrum

Top 5 version, not better than veneta or Fillmore east, but not lesser by any means. What's amazing about this whole show is just how freaking well every single song is played -- maybe the best front to back show of 72 (even if the pitb and bird song from veneta are a hair better).
