Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

I know it's easy for one version to bleed into the next, but this is a good one.

Great, spiralling slo-motion groove to this one. This show is climbing my ranks very quickly!

One of the best they'd played to this point, I'd say...

I think this could be my new favourite. I dare say a "perfect" version...

Keith's solo is fantastic here!
