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 love how they bring back Slipknot! from nothing after the Samson. And the Franklin's is aamazing with this great drum roll outro! My favorite, so good.

This is one of my favorite versions also. The band is on fire at the Creek.

Should be noted that this one is where they slowed the tempo back down.

Tight, smooth and very energetic version. 6/18 is maybe a tick better to me, but there is no denying this excellent version. Love the bridge in to Big River.
