Excellent energy and Jerry led jamming to start a smoking show

The Palladium

I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

Go for it Dark Star '67! You will not be disappointed... The Franklin's is certainly no slouch either. Boys came to play at RRs. I just had another replay and this H>S>F is the truth

This Slipknot is insanely good. Ok, NOW i'll stop raving about this criminally underrated show...
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Brent and Bobby shouting "my lightning TOO!!," followed by a stunning, full band Supplication jam. This version is a screamer. Ok, i'll shut up about this incredible show...

Brent and Jerry take this one to an inspiring peak. Spin, post-haste!

This one is absolutely lovely. A nice emotive respite after a rocking Alabama and Greatest Story start. Bouncy leads from Jerry and tasteful fills from Brent. Easily an unheralded version
