One of the best versions I've ever heard, even with the not-so-great AUD.

Estimated Prophet

The Palladium

Dig into this nice first set "Estimated." Phil joins in on riffing on the main riff, which I’ve not heard before on this tour. Nice solo.

Lovely playing and singing from Jerry, and Keith is all over this first set.

Great Phil rips, nice vocal harmonies. Nice soloing on “Supplication.”

Dark Star
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This works so well. The Dark Star expands to space, and Bobby's strumming emerges. At the end of the song, we re-enter the same space we left like nothing ever happened, like El Paso was a dream.

Really lovely arrangement with the whole band. Great version!

Very good version. The recording quality lets you hear all kinds of nuances between the band.

Good playing. I've never personally cared for the slower versions.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Gets an upvote for how good Jerry's vocals sound on "Help" alone. "Slipknot" is quite out there and the good recording quality lets you hear all the little nuances as the band interacts.
