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.

Gorgeous, yet powerful! One of the better ones I've heard...

Nice groove to this one. Sometimes it can almost be too chaotic...

One of the best, I think. Has a trippy quality with Keith on the Rhodes and Phil in a boisterous mood. Great for just melting into your chair...
