Big, boomy, mountain-scary drums from one of the best shows in '84. Hair-raising.

Very tight, jammed-out version from my favorite '84 show.

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.

Wow, what a scorcher. Jer and the boys just don't let up here. Great energy.

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

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.
