Great opener to a powerhouse second set.

Boston Garden

This was the version that got me nicknamed, "Sampson Guy" because I called it as a second set opener and proceeded to go apeshit when they played it.

Bruce's return is marked by a monster show in Greensboro. This Cassidy is well worth a listen.

Such a languid psychedelic Slipknot. It never sounded quite like this after 76.
Looks Like Rain

Autzen Stadium

That isn't an approaching thunder storm, its Ron Boise's Thunder Machine being played backstage.

Civic Center

Jerry's solo achieved perfect resonance with the bones of the arena. Definitive version for me.

Hauntingly beautiful.

Oxford Plains Speedway

I like this version better than any other in the 1980's. Jerry cries the last verse. So much emotion that it drips.
