Jerry's vocals are rarely stronger. At one point he's growling it out like he's spittin' nails.

Kicking off a killer 2nd set, with a beautiful outro and a smooth smooth jam.

In spite of some tuning problems, this one cooks. This whole set showcases Jerry's fast frets. Great stuff.

Sweet master class on background soloing with Jerry's lickety-split runaway desperado fretwork backing Bobby up.

Black Throated Wind

This starts with understated, almost hesitant steps, then builds into a towering emotional rage. Its arc fits its words. Great stuff.

Even though the cleanup isn't so clear, Bobby is audible in the mix, which gives a good sense of what it could sound like if the magic soundboard ever gets found.... Apparently there isn't anything in the vault from this show.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Brilliant extended Slipknot, and one of the Franklin's that I used to dream about. The outro is sublime.

Don't let the B/B+ sound quality scare you away from this beast. Tremendous energy on this one. Deserves more votes!

Sounds like a bit of a tuning issue at first, but they sharpen up and roll on. "Majestic" describes it perfectly. This one goes an extra mile, extending gloriously on and sweeping you away with it.

Great show opener for this mostly overlooked show. The McDonald cleanup of the only known source is most welcome.
