Nice jam into "Truckin." Can anyone id the organ lick Brent throws in just before the transition?

Tight, solid version. Some nice harmonica playing from Pigpen.

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!
Morning Dew

Very good version. The recording quality lets you hear all kinds of nuances between the band.
Not Fade Away

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

Cow Palace

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.
