High-energy playin' from the boys. Great Garcia solos and Phil bombs.

Fillmore Auditorium

Electric cool-aid acid version from the beginning of the Summer of Love. You can actually get body waves from listening to this one. Love the organ.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

A truly heady version from fall '79. Brent's key-clicking Rhodes piano and Jerry's beautiful solo make this my favorite version. TIGHT performance.

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

A bit rough around the edges but BALLS OUT energy the whole way through. An incredible performance with Jerry belting it out.

Crazy unique FOTM intro jam, unlike any other version I've heard. LOVE '78!

No wonder this version is so heady. Just realized it came after the epic half-hour Ollin Arrageed>FOTM.

Yeah...this one should be at the top. Peak performance for this '78 tune.

McNichols Arena

Wow, what a scorcher. Jer and the boys just don't let up here. Great energy.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

As solid as other versions are, this one takes the crown. Just listen to Jerry's intro solo to Slipknot...
Feel Like A Stranger

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

The video of this is priceless. There is this one shot where Jerry and Brent are looking at each other and smiling mischievously. Like they knew they were blowing some minds with this rippin' version of Stranger.
