The Scope

Jerry's mic craps out at the beginning and as per usual he mangles the words, but the solos are rippin'!

Gorgeous version, like most versions. Jerry sounds so sweet here.

The Palace

Nearly 20 minutes...good jamming on the main theme before a very nice melt down later on. Not quite 12/16/94 but still very good.

Completely torched. Jerry hits his solo like they owe him a million a dollars.

Sung and played with authority.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Charlotte Coliseum

The post-"Franklin's" jam is absolutely terrifying and has many of the same elements of the 10/26 "Dark Star." That it comes out of "Franklin's" of all songs makes it even weirder and more interesting. Their happiest, bounciest sounding song becomes this hellish soundscape.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

West Palm Beach Auditorium

I'm in West Palm Beach on vacation now and decided to blast this one on the boat. It is cemented as a Top 5-er for me. Whole band is nutzo. Fast and furious but also tight. Let's bump this way up.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This song really came back with a vengeance in the early 1980s'. This one is the pinnacle but every version from 1980-85 just rips.
