Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

I was very surprised to see the mix in reception for this classic version. Recently respun, twice, and this still holds up fantastically. Super tight Help, explorative Split with some great team jamming, and a triumphant Frank's. Not sure what more you can ask for. This one always has a well-deserved place in my heart.

God, I wish they kept this in rotation... The communication between Jerry's riffs and Pig's raps are insanely good. This track rips

This is absolutely mesmerizing. The crowning jewel in an all-timer show. The connectivity with the band, the ramp up peak, then quieter jamming is so creative and precise. To me, this is infinitely better than any of the disco-laced '77 and beyond versions, which are great no doubt, but are this is in a whole other league of awesome

Blasts into unabashedly into stratospheric discovery. The meat of the DS > O1 > Lovelight trilogy and it brings the beefy goods. One would think enough has been said about this portion and this show more generally, but when you put it back on after a long hiatus and it still floors you as hard as your first listen, and you realize just how insanely locked in and creative this is, it becomes clear yet again why it is deserving of all-timer status

50th anniversary of this yesterday and by divine coincidence, a vinyl copy I ordered arrive on the same day. I dusted off this holy trinity of DS > O1 > Lovelight last night, and yeah, my goddddd, this is still no doubt the absolute top tier of 80-90 min played in row that the boys have ever done. This DS is the pure definition of patience, intention, and really using your music to make art. 50 years later, still as jaw dropping as ever
