Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.

Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.

Playin' In The Band

Swing Auditorium

Jerry has laryngitis, so only Bobby tunes set 2 this day, and Keith Godchaux takes over the 2nd half of this PITB, especially the last 5 minutes.

City Island

This is an eleven minute Deal with a bunch of ebbs, flows and peaks.

Zoinks is right. I've been meaning to sing the praises of this version for a while. Might as well pile it on.

This one should be on here. I was blown away the first time I heard it. Nothing floating about this one - it's all muscle.

I'll put the link to mine on this page when I finish. Have you ever been to deadessays.blogspot, Carrion Crow? There's some Phd level stuff there.

I set it up similar to Sharleena - who posted a google sheet of a scarlet fire project while back. There are eight sections to every half step and I've been ranking each section from A+ to C- and then taking an average. I'm also partial to the last three rio grandeo sections, so I weight them all twice as much. There are 19 '77 half-steps, and one is missing from the archive (10/7), so it's not even close to sharleena's project in scope. It's nerd paradise really.

I'm doing one of Sharleena's spreadsheets with the 77 halfsteps. What's your project going to be darkstar67? Dark star? Are you done S>F, Sharleena? Ready to take on Sugaree?
