Arrowhead Stadium

This is guaranteed to get you on your feet, seriously fast, led by the drumming. As far as MAMU goes this is top drawer.

Scorching version before Willie Nelson, Phil stands out for me on this one

Beautiful playing, easy to see why this was included on DaP18

Orpheum Theatre

Lacks the familiar opening but Jerry's guitar playing is on fire, with a great contribution from Keith as well. Well worth a listen

Uncle John's Band
May 9, 1977
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
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

As said above, Slipknot is a dream. Great tone, just fantastic
Not Fade Away
Dec. 7, 1971
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.
Jack Straw

Arrowhead Stadium

So so so good!
Playin' In The Band
July 19, 1974
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.
