Fillmore West
Pure psychedelic pop bubbles up over the top and into Sittin on Top.

Yes, the rest of the show is pretty poor, and a good bit of this meanders, but once they dial it in it has O1-like intensity.

Terrapin Station
Oct. 19, 1994
Madison Square Garden
Another long jam in the outro. Shades of Rider (a theme at this run), and JG staying on for most of Drums.

Madison Square Garden
Not the most exploratory version, but very tight. BW on acoustic.

Playin' In The Band
Jan. 18, 1978
Stockton Civic Auditorium
Weird atypical version where a good bit of the jam is just BW and the drummers, playing themes that sound like song ideas. Worth hearing.

Throwing Stones

Hampton Coliseum
There are some rough moments, but I think that the overall effect outweighs whatever small imperfections have come earlier. I will admit that the GL afterward is fairly, um, lethargic.

Hampton Coliseum
This really begins to burn during the jam, and they work up such momentum you think it's not going to stop!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium
The way that Slipknot materializes from the end of Samson is sublime. As I've said in other comments about this show, its setlist is maybe the best structured the band ever did.
Not Fade Away
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium
Good and long version, but this show is really more than the sum of its parts: one of the best designed setlists in the band's history.
Not Fade Away
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East
Incredible version, swings through all kinds of moods as it winds its way out and down.
