Shoots you straight out of the cannon. Super tight jam into a sweet sweet Wharf Rat

Students of Playin's transformation from the Main Ten to country single to cosmic monster should check this. Tightly packed and just about to sprout.

Listen closely and you can hear exactly where April '71 becomes legendary.

Mega show here folks. Bobby's high in the mix and driving the train. The China's fine, but the Rider kicks serious ass.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Paramount Theatre
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

Paramount Theatre
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
June 3, 1976
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.
