West Palm Beach Auditorium

A stupedous version; they ride what I call the "80's LIG theme" (that 3 note figure Jerry repeats a lot) to very climatic effect!

Winterland Arena

Supercharged manic Garica jazz-shredding!!! Amazing flow and energy...a clear rival of 10/29/77, at least in pure white light intensity.

Ass kicking version; insane soloing from Jerry. One of my favorites of the year!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Fox Theatre

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...
Deal

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

My only complaint: watch out for Donna during the coda, she is extra bad here! :-O
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

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

A transcendent conclusion!
Eyes Of The World

Utica Memorial Auditorium

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