Strong Phil and great vocals version. Just so tight throughout. Triumphant version as the pre-end-jam-era versions go.

The band builds it up beautifully to the "Won't you tell everyone you meet" verse.

I love this version. Slipknot is especially essential material. Great thoughtful jamming by all. Well weaved together and it never gets itself lost. But yes, as much as I love 84 there is always that flub. This one is indeed funny. Almost flawless to these ears outside of that mistake.

Bobby cuts Jerry off at a point where he was seriously going somewhere super heavy but still some incredible jamming going on here. This may be my new return version favorite as well.

Tight and energy dripping version. Lots of '84 love.
