Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Yeah, this is really about the Slipknot. The Help is tentative. It does have a solid Franklin's, tho.

I think this version is just OK when compared to some of the monsters of 77/78. Its a good version, B-.

Wow, what a sangwich!!! Probably will be #1, now that it is released. Perfect version.
Playin' In The Band

Definitely the highlight of the first set and that's saying a lot. Love how it is 76/77 feel to it. Obviously, the segues are killer. The reprise is sweet as Grendel mentioned.
