This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

Uncle John's Band
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

I love how Jer starts this one out (mistankingly?) like a reprise version coming out of Playin'. Great tight 80s jams here, well played by the boys.
Shakedown Street
April 26, 1984
Providence Civic Center

Phil is on it for this Shakedown and in a creative mood. The jam is super tight.
Wharf Rat
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

1st show and this space>Wharf Rat is where I go it. I could have gone for many more Rats out of space.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

April was hot for HSF. The Slipknot here rolls into multiple creative themes without rush. Real hot jams and a good Franklins.
I Need A Miracle
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

This was one of those nights that the band cared about each note.
