Is there such a thing as a mellow Watchtower? This might be it. Goes into a great Dew

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Peppy Iko to start the night off - good show overlooked by the rest of the run

They take their time for the intro. Right out of space into this Spencer Davis cover. Brent is the MAN!!! Phil in top form too of course :)

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

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)
