Jack Straw

Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

Brent's 1st song with the band. Multiple Lesh bombs, rollicking drums, smoking Jerry licks, and impassioned vocals. Fine welcome to the band!

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

This is a lightening fast bowl of nose clams, played 100x the speed of hyperspace. Worth it just to hear how fast the boys ventured to take this on

The Wheel

Melkweg

Not the longest, by any stretch, but incredibly airy and beautiful for Bobby's B-day. Worth a listen for sure

Springfield Civic Center

Super interesting jam out of a surprising Truckin' > NFBM jam > Drums > Feeling Groovy jam. The first few min of keys/drum/bass after drums is $$$$

Greatest Story Ever Told

Fox Theatre

Seriously high octane. A very subtle St Stephen lick by Jerry in the closing jam

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!
