Me and My Uncle

Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Winterland Arena

Just a blistering drum beat to propel this one! Good stuff!

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

Every note is perfection. The fullness of sound here is transcendent. Outstanding.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Market Square Arena

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten the 'official release status' yet (as of 9/2022), based solely on this H>S>F!! Good stuff!

Love Wharf Rat! Sublime, soothing, spectacular. Donna is just beautiful here, too.

As has been said already, the word that really jumps out at me when listening to this version is CRISP. It's just phenomenal. And that transition into Wharf Rat. My god, that's the stuff dreams are made of.
