Perfect execution, akin to the Europe '72 version in terms of precision, Kreutzzman is all over the kit. Fiery Garcia licks reaching incredible peaks

Oh my, the band interplay is absolutely top notch and so mature. Ultimate boogie-gusto, Jerry givin' his all and singin' with soul. Great shit.

This blew my mind at the movies, the vocal jam at the end was insane on the big screen

Most insane version by far. 3/19/90 and alpine honestly suck compared to this. The jams are transcendent in this and this is when the song blossomed to its fullest potential. Nothing else beats this. The only reason this isn't higher is simply because enough people haven't heard it. Do yourselves a favor if you want your mind blown.

i'm tellin ya, this is a hidden GEM, ending jam peaks really hard, garcia has some gnaely tiger moments, re-entry into ending vocals perfect. Only complaint is that Garcia isn't as loud as you'd like him to be for the ending jam.. but it's still the best version man. Never heard one like this

Holy shit. #1. Number one. Holy fuck this was incredible. They nailed that. Best version ever played. Makes Frost '82 pale in comparison

So. Fucking. Good. Forgot how good this one was. So Many Roads version has perfect sound. Jazz-chamber music. Slipknot jam executed absolutely perfectly
