Super extended, gentle, blissful intro, with a Playin Reprise tease at the end.

Jerry making beautiful runs all up and down the fretboard! Shimmering and twinkly.
Feel Like A Stranger

Meadowlands Arena

Man, Jerry does not play a single errant note on this one. Every single note is perfectly placed, and perfectly sequenced. What a joy to listen to.

Absolutely outstanding. Orgasmic, really.

Slipknot really launches into outer space here! Gently, beautifully and patiently. There's even a little taste of a Spanish Jam nestled in there. It's a shame that some users might not find this version because it can't appear on the HELP>SLIP>FRANK entry, due to the lack of Franklin's. Makes me feel like Slipknot! should have its own entry!

Very cohesive and beautiful version. Not a mist or a single wasted note. I find this one to be highly underrated. It's top five for me, easily.
