Here is a thought. Without the emergence of Ned's atonal electronica. There might have been 3 DEADSETS every night in 74.( a thousand urinals flush in perfect harmony during any SEASTONES.)
But I am getting ahead of myself.
Sometimes the way to engage negative reviews is to just GO FOR THE NUCLEAR OPTION.
A mathematical formula I would like to put forth
ANY TIME YOU GIVE THE DEAD 3 SETS
MANY CHILDREN WERE BORN 9 months later.
First SHIP OF FOOLS had the crowd faked out. I think they were vibing BROKEDOWN which they do get later this set.
Anyway, this song would get so much stronger as the year progressed. Still interesting to hear this. (by the 90's SHIP tended to be a bit of a downer in the early ballad slot always thought the song could have worked just about anyway in a show including as an encore.)
I like the way China>Rider just flows from Race IS on.
Phil's bass during CHINA CAT is growing hair on my chin.
Great focused feeling groovy jam into I KNOW U RIDER

cool version of 'upbeat' slip knot!!!!

The set opens with US Blues and this is its first live appearance, pretty standard, nothing too special. It Must Have Been The Roses also first appears here which is always a good one, and so is this version. Ship Of Fools is another first time appearance. The Eyes>China is great, and very easy to get lost in.

Best eyes ever hands down!!!
GO JERRY!!!!!
Overall 74 sickness

what's more fascistic?

1) giving an honest critique - positive or negative - regarding a work of art.

or

2) commanding someone NOT to leave a review if it does not agree with your personal opinion?

you are the reason the democrats cannot get elected to office.

Although a little muddy in the mix, this behomoth of a show is sure to satisfy any '74 fan. Standard 1st set with a Slipknot! tease in Playin'. The China>Rider and Truckin'>Nobody's Fault from the 2nd set are noteworthy as is the Eyes in set 3.
This recording is missing the last song and a half as well as the encore, but it still fills up 3cds nicely.

This is a soundboard, and the performance peaks at several nice points, but the mix is low on the vocals. Very frustrating. Anything '74's good, but get this one after you've gotten the rest.
