In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Not top notch, but very nice and a very fun way to open a show.

Even with the fast pace this version has solid playing and one of the best slipknots out there.
You Win Again

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Dank was the younger brother of Hank. Dank loved juicy IPA's.
Wharf Rat

Hill Auditorium

Starts slow and a bit quiet, but about 1/2 way through the intensity slowly builds and each player shines for a moment or two, and then if fades towards a soft finish. Bob and Jerry interplay always makes this song and it's good on this one.
Sugar Magnolia

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

The boys play hard and intense here. Keith's piano is a little tinny, like a piano in an old saloon, but the playing is hard and vibrant.
