Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

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.
