I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

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

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.

^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
