Fast but very neat and tight. Cool version from the best run of 1986.

Motherfucker out of "Cold Rain & Snow." Shit hot and rockin'. A bit sloppy but full of energy.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Vince is admittedly awful here, but Phil and Jer make up for it. Cool version.

Big Railroad Blues

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Not a great show, Jerry still finding strength after the coma. This BRB, however, smokes.

Always the little song that could in any set it appeared in. This one rocks.

Hell in a Bucket
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

This should be higher as well. The whole band absolutely attacks the song. It has a punch few others do.
Shakedown Street

Soldier Field

MASSIVE jam here. Jerry and Bruce destroy this one. Top 5.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

This should have 100+ votes. It's an absolutely massive version. So quiet and pretty most of the time than just frightens the shit out of you unrelentingly. Incredible version; Billy is on fire here.
They Love Each Other
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Love this version a lot. Jerry's on fire every second of the first set.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

One of the very best post-Brent performances of any song. Jerry is as good as he's ever been here.
