Feel Like A Stranger

Marin County Civic Center

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

Friend of the Devil
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

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

Let It Grow
April 15, 1978
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)

Estimated Prophet

Civic Center

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

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Blows the goddamn doors down. And I agree, this new Dave's release showcases Keith putting on an 88 key clinic
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 15, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

Multi-thematic masterpiece. Deep exploration. This is IT
He's Gone
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Keith steals this show and this version of He's Gone. His descending fills in the end jam are hypnotic. Stellar version
Bird Song
Sept. 30, 1972
American University

This one is magnificent - great peaks and valleys
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Some very nice contributions from Hornsby in this Slipknot!
