Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Holy lawd this is hot! I know it's either nostalgia or illusion to preach anything after 1990, but this is wonderful. Pure X factor and for so long!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

This one just rolls along, a nice little version! The band seems to have just a bit of a pep to their step.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Just pulled it up on that new (to me, at least) listentothedead.com site. Nice, tight, fast '77 jamming. You'll not regret a second of this.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

Not the longest, but the band is tight as hell, and you can hear them chomping at the bit during the introduction. Really well played, I can understand why this is *the* version for folks.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
July 31, 1982
Manor Downs

Might not be to everyone's taste, but I've always enjoyed.
