Oh man, Jerry is all over this version. Playing with fire in the belly

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

Smokestack Lightnin'

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Commenting again, this one needs WAY more dap. Bobby disgustingly growling the lyrics in a manner so fitting it would make Ol' Dirty Bastard grin grimily from beyond the grave. Then, the jam hits double time procession and gets super creative and full-band collaborative. Really choice
Playin' In The Band

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Ok, i am apparently far from done shouting about this show. This PITB is a wonderful, melodic soupy jam, that cosmically converges into a perfect pre-drums segment. One of the better 80's versions i have heard
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Go for it Dark Star '67! You will not be disappointed... The Franklin's is certainly no slouch either. Boys came to play at RRs. I just had another replay and this H>S>F is the truth
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This Slipknot is insanely good. Ok, NOW i'll stop raving about this criminally underrated show...
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Brent and Bobby shouting "my lightning TOO!!," followed by a stunning, full band Supplication jam. This version is a screamer. Ok, i'll shut up about this incredible show...
