Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Great dichotomy between Jerry and Duane's solos

Wang Dang Doodle

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

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

The Palladium

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!

Go for it Dark Star '67! You will not be disappointed... The Franklin's is certainly no slouch either. Boys came to play at RRs. I just had another replay and this H>S>F is the truth

This Slipknot is insanely good. Ok, NOW i'll stop raving about this criminally underrated show...
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Brent and Bobby shouting "my lightning TOO!!," followed by a stunning, full band Supplication jam. This version is a screamer. Ok, i'll shut up about this incredible show...

Brent and Jerry take this one to an inspiring peak. Spin, post-haste!

This one is absolutely lovely. A nice emotive respite after a rocking Alabama and Greatest Story start. Bouncy leads from Jerry and tasteful fills from Brent. Easily an unheralded version
