Dialed in, rocking hard, a just-right vocal breakdown with a slamming tight finish!

Deer Creek Music Center

Brent is wailing the B3 and the ending crescendo is Allmans-esque with Phil dropping massive bombs. Excellent close to set 1.

Foolish Heart

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

It took Foolish a few years to really develop. Phil is doing it up in a well developed jam crescendo with a very tasty solo from Jerry.

Hell in a Bucket
Sept. 24, 1987
The Spectrum

I think it took a few years for the hard-driving Bucket arrangement to really develop, so pre-1987 versions are not my faves.I like 1987 best for Hell In A Bucket and this is one is ripping good!
Let It Grow
Sept. 2, 1979
Augusta Civic Center

Kind of a meandering version, definitely unique, long and interesting with Brent's tones, but not really that intense, if that is what you are looking for.

The Spectrum

I like these really speedy versions, too. This one has good intensity.
Big Railroad Blues

Civic Center

Long AND intense!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Bright, driving, articulate, seamless transitions, + lengthy jamming make this one the best ever? Damn close if not tops!
