Excellent bridge. The band extends and extends and never loses their way. Very heady version.

I love the jam on this one. The interplay between Jerry and Brent is excellent. This is the start of a real face melt pre-drums.

Great '84 jammin'. Jer stays on the edge of the tracks almost dropping off and the jam goes on and on.

This Stranger kicks a **. Phil is fantastic and his sound is great. Fun jam, the band is together and able to throw fills wherever necessary.

This one gets my vote for first overall. I had the tendency to stear away from the early spring tour shows and missed 4/1 until this website helped adjust my thinking. The band is tight with their performance and Brent is feeling it.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

The band is just on. You can hear it throughout this version. Definitely one of my favorites.
Big Railroad Blues

This is a true teeth clencher. Jerry's last solo goes on and on and has a lot of wow value.

Great 80s jamming. The jam never loses its way and weaves around landing beautifully into Terrapin.
