Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Good early version. I like the more complicated changes in 1992, almost seems like they were trying for an Eyes-feel.

The Other One

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the stronger late-era versions. Split across Drums (with a third jam segment before). What's not to like?

I'm surprised this early version hasn't been mentioned. Very loose, and builds nicely to the Other One.

Eternity
March 25, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

From a pretty solid first set, this is a stand-out version of Eternity with Bruce Hornsby: worth a listen.

Deal

Giants Stadium

In the midst of a lackluster set (and show, and tour) this is a great version. Not as explosive, but well explored, with several intricate parts.

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.
The Music Never Stopped

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.
