Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Jan. 12, 1979
The Spectrum

Out of a great NFA, this Going Down the Road rocks, Weir is strumming chords like a madman and Phil drops a few bombs for good measure, give it a try.

Great version, slow powerful into then 14 + jamming minutes from an underrated show. Wish there was a SBD, give it a listen anyway.

Must give a nod to the first one, the only one I know of with a middle Jerry solo.

Frost Amphitheatre

Just exactly perfect, the moment when Jerry starts his solo and the sound wave pulsated through the crowd.

Very aggressive transition into Sunshine Daydream, someone calls out 1, 2, 3, 4 and then bam. Worth the listen.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This Help>Slipknot! > Franklins is the best I saw in 83’ the break-out year. Overall it was a great show, my first at Red Rocks and probably the best show I saw that summer tour. The Slipknot! really shines, Weir has some amazing chord structures, it kind of has three different jams at least feels at the 6 minute mark or so Jerry finds a very cool rift, up and down the scales and then Weir at the finish is astonishing. Check it out, If you love Slipknot and I know you do, this version absolutely needs more votes.

The last of 5 Help>Slip>Franklins I heard in the Spring of 83, this one is my favorite. Overall it was a great show, my 100 on tour and probably the best Spectrum show I saw, The into to Help is not as crisp as Hampton, but the Sliptknot! really shines. Check it out, this version needs more votes.

Another large bust-out at Hampton, these Warlock shows were pretty amazing, the crowd both nights were memorized, I like the audience tapes. Good version, not great but well played, I really like Brent’s tone and contribution and Phil is all over his 6-String.

Great version from what was the first East Coast version since 77, my first as well. A fairly large bust-out at the time, well played. Massive Phil bombs, drummers are in sync, the first of 5 Slipknots! I heard that spring.

Good version, closing jam builds nicely, doesn’t have the power of Portland later in the year.
