Funky stuff. Jerry makes some excellent licks and Brent has fine supporting contributions. Heady, for sure

Palace Theatre

I really dig this version. Bouncy and understated. Bobby and Keith with excellent supportive rhythmic contributions. Jerry with country twang vocals

William and Mary College Hall

End jam is very dense and thick. Very strong effort with great backing from the rhythm devils

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Hot, compact ChinaCat jam, but the highlight is Jerry hammering the "headlight" lyric in Rider. Gave me chills (as most similar later versions do)

Civic Center

Very tight version. Jerry nails the noodles richly, making for a far out excursion. Only issue is a seemingly rushed Eyes segue

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Market Square Arena

Whooooahhh, this Slipknot!! Very exploratory, boys hit a killer groove in the final few minutes before Franklin's. Highly recommended

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

That's a great story, Carrion, and glad you made it out alive with your mental faculties (relatively) intact! Super weird version and one that would have thrown me for a serious cerebral loop in person, for sure. The ensuing Comes a Time (a real bute) must have been a much needed respite, turning night to day.

Fillmore East

^Now that is a review! Cheers, The Sloth - good on you and awesome review for a superlative version.
Hell in a Bucket

Amped up kick starter to a killer show and has some nice Bob/Jerry humor to start
