Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Broome County Arena

I will again implore the necessity of spinning this version. The Bobby/Jerry interplay at the end is some of the best, most unique I have heard. Leads into a top version, huge early peak Truckin'. Hard to get any better than this pairing

Pretty sweet version - FOTM bleeds nicely into a Stir it Up Jam
