A great one from summer '90. Vocals are crisp, musically the organ work is great and the band is tight and all in the flow.

Jerry solo for most of it with some effects from time to time. Unique. And then it goes into Dew

This song is not really in a "heady" format, but I always liked it as a 1st set tune. This version is well.played as is this show.

Yes 1984. I love the ups that happen in this year. This version has a lot of great energy from the boys. Mid-song solo is very strong.

I will take a Dew after space any day of the week and twice on the weekends. This one delivers!

It gets a vote for the famous sing along. But also credit this version as holding it's own as one of the best.

One of my favorite sequences. Slipknot!-> Franklin's->OMSN, E: U.S. Blues. Such a rocking encore, definitely one of the best ever.

Agreed it is also one of my favorite ever Jams. US Blues seemed to work well out of space and long jams.

The video is must see. This US Blues is as amped as it could possibly be.
