Jerry blows a verse, but the solo is good. Nice playing from Keith.

A bit slower than the others I’ve heard from this month, and I think the song works better this way.

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.
And We Bid You Goodnight

Cow Palace

Really lovely arrangement with the whole band. Great version!
Morning Dew

Cow Palace

Very good version. The recording quality lets you hear all kinds of nuances between the band.
Not Fade Away
Dec. 31, 1976
Cow Palace

Good playing. I've never personally cared for the slower versions.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Dec. 31, 1976
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.
