Samson and Delilah
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater
These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

Brokedown Palace
Oct. 12, 1989
Meadowlands Arena
The old encore favorite is executed with both ease and precision. Clean, bright Brokedown here.

Space
April 3, 1982
The Scope
This brief Space is more of an extended Jerry-led intro to NFA, and it's way cool. This show is out of sight.

Bird Song
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium
Adventurous, somewhat dissonant jam from a fairly strong first set. Fans of Welnick-era improv should check this out.

Its All Over Now
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena
Rowdy but still sharply played. Check out this superb first set.

Swing Auditorium
The comments are right on. This has all the thrills of versions later in the year, but it’s more focused.
Wharf Rat
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma
I think this might be the best of fall ’77! Really do not miss this one.
West L.A. Fadeaway
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium
A really terrific version of a song I don’t ordinarily care much about. One for the summer ’90 highlight reel.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 12, 1983
Madison Square Garden
Busy, clanging Slipknot! here. Very interesting and worthy of multiple listens.
Friend of the Devil
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater
There are obvious flaws — it takes them a few moments to get on the same beat — but this weird, jagged version is like no other I’ve heard. A great example of whatever the fuck was going on in ’78 that made it so different from every other year.
