Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1984
The Centrum
trippy and groovy intro noodling into song. Jerry flubs some verses, but at least gets the melody. short. Things seem to almost fall apart during the intro material for “Slipknot,” but they vamp the final figure of the transition into a dark solo from Jerry based loosely on the melody. Very nice “Slipknot” jam. Repeated phrase changes groove, accelerates, lessens before swirling patterns and move to “Franklin’s.” Dark chords at the start of the final tune (Brent?). Weird sound effects from Bobby briefly. Lyrical mumble actually pretty funny. Billy nice and loose. Nice gentle let down at end.
