I'm somewhat unimpressed by this performance despite many of my friends applauding it. To me, it's a little slow, not all that energetic, and a little meandering (4+ hours). The highlights for me are Dark Star > The Other One > Dark Star > Wharf Rat > St. Stephen > Good Lovin' on the third disc. I much prefer some of the Winterland shows from 1977.
