Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

I love how they bring back Slipknot! from nothing after the Samson. And the Franklin's is aamazing with this great drum roll outro! My favorite, so good.

Deer Creek Music Theater

This is one of my favorite versions also. The band is on fire at the Creek.

Tight, smooth and very energetic version. 6/18 is maybe a tick better to me, but there is no denying this excellent version. Love the bridge in to Big River.
