Airplay perfect. Seems like they wanted to pick up the pace a bit and this one is just fine and dandy.

Don't shut off the after the LIG>DitS>CC! This version just keeps on giving - great jam all 'round.

Muscular and confident, not at all dragging. Don't overlook it. It's brilliant and perfect coming in a blazingly good show and great 2nd set.

This one cooks. Keith puts on a master class of the old razzle dazzle.

Great standalone sandwiched between a Sugar Mag and her Sunshine Daydream. Nice combo.

Spanish Jam in the outro is so beautiful. What a treat the heads got in Boston.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Great up-and-jumping opener and you can tell from the first moments that they were much tighter than the previous night. Both are great and classic shows, but they're just musically more in sync to this head's ears.

Beautiful interlude section before the last out jam. Jerry's cruising at high speed behind the swimming ooohs and ahhs in great beauty.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

The Help is not as strong or tight as others, and kind of hollows out at one point, but the Slipknot more than makes up for it by getting good and weird. Keith on the Rhodes gives it that great '74 wicked voodoo sound and plays up great phasing effects with Bobby around minute six. The band is waaaaaay loose, but it all sort of comes together. There's something like mic. static or a blown monitor at one point, but even this contributes to the journey.

Has that verge-of-chaos feeling where the jam takes off in 100 different directions while the pulse moves you closer and closer to a full-on dance trance. Nice catch.
