Feel Like A Stranger
March 31, 1984
Marin County Civic Center

This Stranger kicks a **. Phil is fantastic and his sound is great. Fun jam, the band is together and able to throw fills wherever necessary.
Brother Esau

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

This one gets my vote for first overall. I had the tendency to stear away from the early spring tour shows and missed 4/1 until this website helped adjust my thinking. The band is tight with their performance and Brent is feeling it.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

The band is just on. You can hear it throughout this version. Definitely one of my favorites.
Big Railroad Blues
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

This is a true teeth clencher. Jerry's last solo goes on and on and has a lot of wow value.
Playin' In The Band
June 30, 1984
Indianapolis Sports and Music Center

Great 80s jamming. The jam never loses its way and weaves around landing beautifully into Terrapin.
