Very slick work from Jerry here. One of the best post-Brent versions.

Great Hornsby version. Jerry plays the hell out of his axe here.

Get this St. Patrick's day off to an appropriately rowdy start. Even the accordion works here.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Charlotte Coliseum

The post-"Franklin's" jam is absolutely terrifying and has many of the same elements of the 10/26 "Dark Star." That it comes out of "Franklin's" of all songs makes it even weirder and more interesting. Their happiest, bounciest sounding song becomes this hellish soundscape.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

West Palm Beach Auditorium

I'm in West Palm Beach on vacation now and decided to blast this one on the boat. It is cemented as a Top 5-er for me. Whole band is nutzo. Fast and furious but also tight. Let's bump this way up.
Big Railroad Blues

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This song really came back with a vengeance in the early 1980s'. This one is the pinnacle but every version from 1980-85 just rips.
