| Note | 'The Affirmatives' (Tales) section is probably the clearest recording of all live Tales songs (that includes The Remembering) in existence (though 2.28.74 Detroit and 2.26.74 Boston is close).
I'd like to know what the taper used to record it. I'd also really like to what happened to the rest of the show from his tape?? Why only the Tales section? The other source for this night (containing the the rest of the show) is good, but not as quality as the 'Affirmatives' source. Now, there is an ongoing debate as to whether one or both of these sources are actually of 2.20.74, and not 2.18.74. This is complicated, and ardent opinions weigh in on both sides. A good summary of this debate can be found HERE. Assuming for a moment that this is the 2.18 show for pleasurable listening purposes, this is a must-have Remembering-age Tales show. These two MSG shows contain my two favorite Remembering Rick solos. - So regal, dignified, soaring. He restrains himself from wandering aimlessly, as he could do in other shows. Strangely, again the encore did not get recorded at this MSG show (the Roundabout included on this recording is from 2.27.74 - Detroit).. Surely they played Roundabout, and possibly Roundabout + YIND or ST for the large NY crowd. |
