Complete with kickin' cow bell, nice long intro, easily one of the best you'll find.

Give it a spin before Santa comes...Pig does Chuck Berry and Kris Kringle proud!

DP Vol. 7 in London...special hard-core ROCK&ROLL kick-ass version, as if to remind the good folks across the Pond what happened 200 years earlier.

Like every song in this vastly underrated show: Just Exactly Perfect.

Normally not a song I take much notice of...but Keith just takes over this puppy and turns it into a rollicking good time!

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.
