Kiel Auditorium

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

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.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

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!).

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this was one of the best songs in their repertoire around the time of this version.

Boston Music Hall

What a journey! At first deft and delicate, then thick and swinging ... and of course there's a classic '72 space freakout. Highly recommended.

Wow, where did that come from? A unique jam makes for one of the coolest NFAs of the decade.

Jerry switches to slide after several verses, followed shortly by a smoooth segue to Walkin’ Blues. Cool and different.
