Nassau Coliseum

Nice jammy Uncle John's sandwiched between Shakedown and Playin. I prefer the Eaton AUD over the SBD as of 2/13/23.

Really great, lovely extended intro thx to Jerry. Everyone is on point and is a nice transition from the beautiful Comes a Time that preceeded it

Dire Wolf
Aug. 21, 1983
Frost Amphitheater

Despite the lack of vocals at the very beginning this is a great laid back Dire Wolf. The Frost is a nice place to space your face (~):)

The Omni

Phil's singing is really solid on this one, band doesn't stumble over each other.

Turn On Your Love Light

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Valentine's Day '88 - very fitting for them to close with Lovelight. They played Lovelight at every Valentines show. Great band interplay

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
