Faster than usual tempo with just a brilliant Jerry bridge jam and no missed lyrics make this one a not-to-be-missed version.

Not sure why everyone ignores '77 versions, but you're missing out if you haven't heard this one. Power packed Jerry-led fury.

In the band's worst year they somehow came up with a really short but spot-on SJ that emerges nicely out of space. Ignore the date-check out the tune.

Seek out the SBD (unknown lineage) then bask in what's possibly the best-sung, most heartfelt & lovely "Roses" ever.

It's criminal that this hasn't made the list yet. Like super-smooth '77 versions? You MUST hear this.

From the best show of 1982. Worthy.

Languishing down the end of the list, with not a single vote when I found it, is one of the best Row Jimmy's from the year in which it was never performed better. I'm guessing because the only clean version (and it's a great SBD) is from "leftovers" of this show. But you need to find this version, you need to listen to it, you need to check out Jerry's second solo, and then you need to get this thing into the upper deck with the big versions where it belongs.

From one of my all time favorite Dark Stars. The sweetness right here.

If there's a slower-paced Help>Slip I've yet to hear it. It's a little disorienting at first...you keep waiting for it to pick up to a more familiar gait, but when you really let it settle in you start to realize they're smack dab in the pocket, and it's a great example of how this band never sat still, experimenting with different speeds and sounds all the time. As noted, Phil is driving this train, and no way is he high on cocaine. This is a patient, but funk-thick ride into Slipknot, which continues with a deliberate pace with elements of space, and then into maybe the best transition from Slip>Franklin's since 8/13/75. Check out how Billy and Mickey roll the fills in the Slipknot theme, and once they get into Franklin's the giddy-up is back and this version can run with any of the big boys of '77 and even passes a few of 'em. Points and upvote for originality and execution.

You kidding me with this end jam? Can't let this sit so low on the ladder. Solid reading all the way thru, great Bobby vocals, and yeah, that end jam. This whole show seems to be given an undeserved short shrift.
