Unique "slow" version that caps off a monster jam out of Truckin'. Must hear material.

There is something indescribably sweet and perfect about this version...sounds like it could have been recorded for an album. I just love it.

Very laid back but sooo tasty. Jerry's lines are so supple.

Awesome version, Jerry has a cool feedback/sustain part during the solo that just gets me every time. Segues into a killer GSET.

Wow. Just WOW. Absolutely the finest Fire conclusion I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. This is one of my new all-time favorite Jerome moments right here...

My only complaint: watch out for Donna during the coda, she is extra bad here! :-O

Absolutely! My favorite pre-hiatus version before the jams got really extended. '74 rocked for this song.

Definitely a great early version we got here...whole show smokes. Check out 2/15/73 for an even earlier proto-slipknot tease
