Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Madison Square Garden

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Not Fade Away
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

71 had the best NFA>GDTRFB>NFA combos of any year. Great one this day. Includes epic darkness jam in the GDTRFB. This show should not be overlooked.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This is a great DS with first verse clocking in at 12 minutes with no nonsense. Seamless transition of El Paso and then back into another 7 minutes of DS jam.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

This version is legit. Absolutely bonkers version.

I highly recommend this version....killer groove. Especially since a lot of us have been digging 76, lately.
