Pure Donna vocals, and raging Garcia solo before the last verse. Donna sounds great throughout this entire show—it's a real smoker.

NOT just another '77 version. BIG bridge solo, pure Jerry/Donna backing vocals, scary Mutron solo into Eyes. One of the best.

NOT just another '77 version. Insanely-tight jamming, 2nd set opener, KEITH, JERRY, PHIL! Best version I've heard.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

Out of Half-Step opener of the last show of Brent's first tour with the band. Love his early '79 keys sound.

Things get super spacy and jazzy here. Bobby does perfect rhythm work throughout. This isn't just another '76 version. 13:55 has to be a record time for Slipknot, as mentioned above. This is a great recording. Get both nights at the Beacon '76.

Brent's Dynoed-Rhodes keys during the out jam are incredible. It almost sounds like he is playing a vibraphone!

This one is remarkable for Bobby's insane solo near the first verse.

Most unique Stranger solo I have heard from Jerry. He goes through a series of Mutron effects and Brent gets funky on his Dynoed-Rhodes Piano with wah. I truly heady version.
