Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

The Drums is fine/good, but this one is great to cleary hear some spunion shout "holy fucking, SHIT!" on the SBD. Someone's mind = blown... Priceless

Giants Stadium

Very inspired playing. Jazzy swing from the rhythm devils, Lesh is barreling down the low end, and Jerry dancing the leads to a powerful conclusion

This isn't usually my song, but this one totally swings. Super fun

Fantastic opener. Jerry playing some fun licks. Very bouncy, and great way to kick off

I'm usually not a big Samson fan, but this one has some serious muscle. Force of an elbow drop from the top ropes. High energy!
