Boisterous. Stomps out of the Wheel into a great Dew.

King Solomon's Marbles

Kezar Stadium

Truly insane Deadness. And Gratefulness. Some of the greatest jamming ever. How ridiculous it must have been. Never fails.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Beacon Theatre

Another that could be my all time favorite. Many years ago, I had no doubt.
Crazy Fingers

Great American Music Hall

Like the Help-Slip-Frank on this night, this is just about as close to perfection as they've ever been, which is always a bit Weird, when they really don't miss a note. Definitely a toss up between this and the Beacon.... But I might love the Beacon a little more for it's roughness!!!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

For some crazy reason, I'll always take this (and a whole bunch of others) over the Great American, which is so perfect, I know. But maybe that's why... Great American is just a little... too perfect.... Absurd, I know!!!
Pretty Peggy O
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

WoW!!! Great beauty. As is 5/9/77. Totally amazing. Still gotta say 9/3/77 is the greatest Peggy-O ever (DP 15). Like most great ones, it doesn't have just a few powerful moments. It's powerful throughout. One of the few versions of anything I can say is my absolute, all time favorite (along with the Half Step from that show, and the He's Gone-NFA....). Sick show. A lot of Heads from the Bronx at that one in Englishtown...
