Oct. 23, 1973
Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

If this doesn't have you smiling ear to ear at the Hey Jude peak, hold a mirror to your mouth to make sure you are still breathing, because you may be clinically dead.

Super energetic, crisp, and dextrous handling from Jerry. How you start a New Years show with a BANG
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
May 19, 1966
Avalon Ballroom

Super strong, early version - driving drum beat. Jerry crisp on the vocals
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Niagara Falls Convention Center

Is there slop in here? Oh you better believe it - BUT, this Slipknot! has a flat out bonkers, high octane jam. Jerry is a freight train of frantic energy, making this one special.
Doin' That Rag
April 25, 1969
Electric Theater

Ramp up jam at the end has Bruce Banner ferocity. BIGGG ONE!
