VERY rare Throwing Stones that isn't the second to last set closer - goes straight into a solid GDTRFB

The Centrum

Awesome Eyes, with what appears to be Jerry playing Bobby's licks in the very beginning - AUD only but spectacular nonetheless

Petrified that I'm the first to nominate this - DO NOT SKIP JUST BECAUSE ITS AN AUD - Awesome Playin' that dissolves into a spectacular He's Gone

Vocally one of the most passionate and the playing is fantastic - just listen to Keith!

Truly fantastic Slipknot - deserves a lot of love
Samson and Delilah
July 10, 1981
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Lovely audio recording of this one
New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 16, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Vince solo is awesome - the two keyboards are fully integrated into the band at this point
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

Horn solo beginning around the 7 min mark is actually quite fun and funky. Not as much crazy improv + the band is still learning to groove with/around the horns but excellent and interesting, especially when the horns are nailed (and don't sound like a circus gone wrong)
