MIDI Horn fest on Jerry's end + the Vince synths make this an interesting MSWM. Carrying over the tame energy from the Eyes beforehand. Solo Vince

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Sandstone Amphitheatre

Excellent dueling keyboard version - Bruce on accordion and Vince on the synths. I love the Brent versions with the B3, but the keys fit well here

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry repeats "Look out Stagger Lee" with quite a bit of fervor at the end, excellent version. Entire band is locked into high gear

The Wheel
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

Wheel>Samson transition unbelievably smooth and beautiful. Must be heard at least once by all Heads
Samson and Delilah
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

Excellent early version - solid as can be. And yes, Phil bombs galore
The Other One
Jan. 18, 1979
Providence Civic Center

Blazing version out of Truckin'. Jerry gets real jammy in this one. The final uninterrupted He's Gone > Truckin' > Other One. End of an era for sure
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Short but sweet Slipknot
The Other One
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

The eternal twin of the 5/17/81 Other One. Short but fiery - truly heady. Brent kills
