Feel Like A Stranger

Coliseum Arena

Hot version with Hornsby.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Don't know how this one wasn't submitted yet. One of the most fired up versions I've ever heard from the first great post-Brent show.

Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

I know, I know, 1995, but this is a strong, fun version, from a surprisingly strong show.

New Minglewood Blues
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This version shoots out like a pressure bullet...kick-ass version to open a hot show on a rainy night.

Althea
March 31, 1984
Marin County Civic Center

This is a terrific "Althea," and yes, there's an edge to it absent in other versions. 1984 in general has some dark undertones in several shows, this one included.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Awesome, awesome "Dark Star." Maybe the last truly great one.
Jack Straw
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Perfect performance. Everyone firing on all cylinders - lyrics nailed, modulation and transitions are smooth, and the finale is truly out of this world. The best for me.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

Individually, I think I may have heard better "Franklin's Tower"'s, but this is by far the best I've heard of three-pack.
Victim Or The Crime
Oct. 26, 1989
Miami Arena

This is my favorite version, simply because this is where the turning point of when the show went from being merely 'solid' to one of the most notoriously eerie shows they've ever played.
