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.

Madison Square Garden

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

Kinda silly why this is so low???

I just threw this show in again. Obviously, Playin opener in first set, Dew opener for the second, and the redic DS are some huge highlights. But don't forget all the small songs that are so tight and clean at this top 5 show all time.
Playin' In The Band

2nd that emotion and yes 5/8 and 5/11 have best Playins and remain my two favorite overall shows from E72.

Rosemont Horizon

This really is a sweet little jam for this era. Vince does shine. Jer starts it, Vince gets the middle section, and then both finish it off.

The DS theme outro makes this one special.
