Kiel Auditorium

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Madison Square Garden

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

Oakland Auditorium

Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.

Jerry repeats an interesting pattern during the main jam section that Brent picks up on later (using the marimba patch!).

This is an amazing, symphonic Space with a beautiful sense of movement. Highly recommended.
