Let It Grow
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

This show is a true hidden gem isn't it? This LIG is great throughout with the end jam going on and on Jerry driving it with what seems to be no plan to ever let it end. Energy filled set ender.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

This is the show of the run for me I love this energy-filled C>R which is well -played throughout.
Bird Song
April 13, 1984
Hampton Coliseum

Phil is strong and Brent lays down some essential licks as this jam rocks.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Nov. 2, 1984
Berkeley Community Theatre

The Slipknot is as creative a piece of music as you will find anywhere. It is loose and trippy, high-quality stuff. The Franklins ranks high in my best-ever category. This is what you could call a hidden treasure. Go ahead and start out by spinning up the Slipknot and enjoy.
Bird Song
Oct. 20, 1984
Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

This is a heavyweight version. The jam is very strong.
