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

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.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Feb. 5, 1978
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!

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Beacon Theatre

Things get super spacy and jazzy here. Bobby does perfect rhythm work throughout. This isn't just another '76 version. 13:55 has to be a record time for Slipknot, as mentioned above. This is a great recording. Get both nights at the Beacon '76.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Brent's Dynoed-Rhodes keys during the out jam are incredible. It almost sounds like he is playing a vibraphone!
The Other One
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

This one is remarkable for Bobby's insane solo near the first verse.
Feel Like A Stranger
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

Most unique Stranger solo I have heard from Jerry. He goes through a series of Mutron effects and Brent gets funky on his Dynoed-Rhodes Piano with wah. I truly heady version.
