Growling, aggressive, hard driving Samson that deserves to be on this list.

A Rockin' 1st set closer from one of the best shows of 1984.

I love this version because they fuck it up twice, then keep trying to get it right.

Really, Englishtown is my favorite. But I'm listening to the 2nd set of this show and it is (insert expletive here)!!!! China/Rider>Estimated>He's Gone>Eyes, all of which belong somewhere on these lists. YUMMMY.

Estimated. Listened to this based on your comments from 6/26/74. While I don't think this China/Rider is better, it is absolutely dreamy... and the entire pre-drums (that's as far as I've gotten) is lovely. A sad and beautiful outtro from He's Gone to Eyes. Thanks for the recommendation. And Klauss... I heaer the "first there is a mountain then there is no mountain then there is" as well.... Suhhweeet. Finally. The SBD would make a great matrix with the right AUD for those geniuses that do that thing

Was '77 the Year of Mississippi? Top 10 versions from that year, with 1/2 from May (counting 4/30)... All are so sweet.
