Fast and fun, the crowd really digging it. Great show in spite of some sound quality issues.

Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

Playin' In The Band
Nov. 7, 1971
Harding Theatre
Sounds like Keith's on a honky-tonk acoustic, well mic'd (amplified (well who knows maybe otherwise too)) for this cool '71 version. Phil's all over it too. Really hot show - just amazing how they're pushing and pulling against the melody before the out chorus.

Surf punk! 10 years before the Sex Pistols. Who said these guys were hippies?!

Total '67 insanity. Fully shredding, the fastest version I know from back when the boys were considered menaces to straight society. A raging mad maelstrom with a penchant for dosing the uninitiated. This whole show explodes.
Eyes Of The World
June 30, 1974
Civic Center
Show is something different from the juggernauts from earlier on the tour, so doesn't get all the love it deserves. This Eyes is so inventive and exploratory, subtle yet bizarre. Great stuff. Nice Slipknot tease around 11:15. It's the 2nd one in the show after the melt from UJB back into Playin' earlier.
Scarlet Begonias

Civic Center
The groove, the groove: Captures the complexity and beauty of Scarlet all the while up on its toes for a traipsing sensual and funtime dance-along. Hot mellow summertime Dead goodness like all the best of '73-'74.
