Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 25, 1994
Nassau Coliseum
Not one of the "big boys" in terms of versions, but features nice Hornsby on accordian.

So Many Roads
Oct. 19, 1994
Madison Square Garden
Strong version with great Jerry vocals. The whole show is underrated.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 19, 1989
Greek Theatre, U. Of California
China starts out rough, with some missed lyrics, but the transition is amazing, and JG's vocals are tops: he even sings along with BW on his line!

Turn On Your Love Light
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden
Late period: why like it? Because BW & JG imbue it with an energy befitting the rest of this great show. Not the greatest version, but loads of fun.

Samba In The Rain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden
Hated it when I heard it (multiple times): but on tape this (terrible) song is pretty strong in this version. JG's solo is solid enough.

And We Bid You Goodnight
Aug. 18, 1989
Greek Theater
Soild version.
Uncle John's Band
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California
Yes, that jam afterwards is extremely interesting. It dances around the Playin' theme, never quite gets there, and continues the UJB mood, while being rooted in something other.
Playin' In The Band
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion
For a shot version there are a surprising number of things going on in this version, including a couple of moments where Jerry switches moods suddenly and the band follows him nicely.
Promised Land
April 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre
Yeah, of course it's terrible, but it should be heard. If only, you know, just to hear it.
Big Railroad Blues
Oct. 9, 1984
The Centrum
Agree totally. This is a long version, which almost reaches "jam-song" intensity. JG tries out a variety of different sounds on this one.
