Billy's high in the mix, and he drives. A perfect snapshot, with Bobby's sweet young voice in perfect form and a solid driven pulse throughout.

High-voltage and up tempo shuffle. Great sounding C. Miller cleanup.

They push the energy up and up and up. Special transition into OMSN. An all-round high voltage jamming show. Underrated.

High energy, shitkickingly good. The energy in this is off the charts.

Pig on a ferocious rampage, the band sizzling hot behind him, and all this in the first set. This show deserves more love.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Brilliant version, flawlessly executed in the return show. Jerry has that buzz-saw tone throughout the long and interesting Help>Slip transition, and Phil takes a cool solo.

Great comment from Glyn. Great version and a pivotal moment transitioning post-hiatus.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Not my favorite Franklin, (seems to drag a bit by the last vocals) but the mellow welcome-to-'76 vibe for the Help>Slip part are inspired. The setlist for this show is the stuff of dreams.

Very funny transition from a silly-slow start to a double-time finish. Half the band doesn't know what the f' is happening until they catch up. Funny capper to an historically important show.
Samson and Delilah

Paramount Theatre

Considering that the '76 Dead brought Mickey back, this song seems all the more important. If ever there's a two-drummer tune in the mid-70s repertoire, this is it. Great feel to it, and Bobby's kicking the shit out of the lyric. Great debut to a great song.
