Smoking hot, how is this not one here?! Some great solos from Jerry, good bit of Keith in the middle. Comes out of a fast mamu, what's not to like!

Perfect version, lots of Keith, slow but doesn't drag

The Music Never Stopped

New Haven Coliseum

Aside from the vocal and instrumental flubs at various points, the pace is electric. Not heard many as fast as this, builds up to a great ending

Uncle John's Band

War Memorial

Agreed, strangely overlooked for such a highly regarded show. The verses are nothing out of the ordinary, Donna's singing is great though, but as said above there's serious intensity to the last few minutes. Definitely should be higher

As said above, Slipknot is a dream. Great tone, just fantastic
Not Fade Away

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Start to finish brilliant. They seem to never want it to end and when they do Bobby sounds exhausted! Great stuff.

So so so good!

Selland Arena

One of my favourite stand alone PITBs, the last 5-6 minutes of jamming are gorgeous, but this has got it all from beginning to end. They really push on from this into the next set as mentioned already. Supreme.
