At least as good as Barton, but not as well known.

Each night of this run has a stellar encore. I prefer 04-29's UJB, but this one's still very solid.

Not Fade Away
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

I agree with the comments on Set II. I was a long time fan of the "NFA" from Barton Hall, but this might top it...

St. Louis Arena

Would love an AUD or matrix of this...
Eyes Of The World

Dane County Coliseum

Really beautiful stuff!

Listened to this on NYE. Dimly remember some sweet major-chord jamming, something that got dark, some electronic jamming that scared me (maybe the trippiest thing I've ever heard), and coming out of it through the "Eyes" and "China Doll. Powerful stuff.
Playin' In The Band

Wow, nice version. Just streamed part of the show before and after this, and I'm going to need to revisit this in a serious way. Heard there's a top-notch matrix of this, working on the download now... (edit) This is a superior version. Doesn't lose its place or get self-indulgent.
