The Other One
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Just ferocious by the end of Rider, but there’s lots to enjoy all the way through this combo.

Ramble On Rose
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre
Much like the Philly version a week earlier, this one really shines.

Sugaree
Feb. 26, 1977
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.
