I know, I know you can't pick Ithica for everything, but this is one of the best versions ever.

I love this version. Slipknot is especially essential material. Great thoughtful jamming by all. Well weaved together and it never gets itself lost. But yes, as much as I love 84 there is always that flub. This one is indeed funny. Almost flawless to these ears outside of that mistake.

Bobby cuts Jerry off at a point where he was seriously going somewhere super heavy but still some incredible jamming going on here. This may be my new return version favorite as well.

Tight and energy dripping version. Lots of '84 love.
