Unique segue into Cumberland Blues. A nice little adventure away from the normal Rider.

Victim Or The Crime

Nassau Coliseum

Interesting "Space" like jam before the segue into Foolish Heart.

I love the energy of this version. Heads say this show had bad vibes and maybe the tension is why I like this version so much. Nice interplay between Bruce and Vince.
Drums -> Space
Dec. 29, 1984
San Francisco Civic Center

Cool drum segment that drifts into a space that is kind of like Ollin Arrageed with Spanish jam licks that devolves into a jam based around the Truckin' intro which then transitions to some psychedelic meanderings till finally finding its way into Truckin' proper.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 22, 1989
Charlotte Coliseum

Big sounding Help that is well executed. Flows nicely into a psychedelic Slipknot! But alas this version is all about the cool jam in Franklin's. I almost thought they were about to go into Crazy Fingers at one point but this drifts into some really cool psychedelic jamming instead. Check it out as part of the 2017 version of 30 Days of Dead.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

I love groovin' out to this version and Jerry really peaks FOTM hard at the end. It's definitely in my list of top 5 versions.
