Fresh. Interesting workout on this; which has been missing from other recordings of this show.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

This one hasn't sunk in yet. It's MASSIVE. The muddy copy on the archive won't do it. You've got to listen to the whole NFA>GDTRFB>NFA DP 26 version. I've upped it to 5, only. Should be near the top, IMO. Wow.

Winterland Arena

Thanks for highlighting this. Great period – they're both eager to jam and patient to let it develop…

Nassau Coliseum

As chunky as they come, this gets the same extensive treatment as the previous night's Scarlet-Fire. Great strumming from Bob throughout. I was lucky to catch these nights.

That's the Marbles Left Brain part...

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Sits in the shadow of tons of votes cast for other songs at this show. I know what you mean though. Many intense NMBs. Check 5/7 Boston.
