Absolutely should be above Cornell and sitting firmly at the top of this list. No question. Jam is stratospheric.

Yeah wow. Gets a very strong vote from me. Just listened and my lord, this one might be the best I’ve ever heard. Absolutely shreds and sets off its own controlled nuclear blast. It’s even better than the fantastic preceding Dark Star.

I for one enjoy the Bobby slide disaster. It's giving Primal Dead blues noise.... to put it charitably.
Truckin'

Can't believe this isn't even in the top 20. This is one of the Truckins that comes to mind when I think of it burning down the place.

I'm kinda shocked that this has less than 10 votes and no comments. Gorgeous run through of this beautiful song coming out of an epic Truckin'. In fact, it's the only time they play the two songs on this three-night run, so it's extra special.
