Warfield Theater

Hot outro resolves into a brief contemplative space before yielding to Drums.

Queen Jane Approximately

Nassau Coliseum

Sparkling, energetic version. The first set of the Nassau run is a great one!

Its All Over Now
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

Grooves smartly with excellent contributions from each member. The whole first set is hot and worth a listen.

Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

Black Peter

The Spectrum

Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

Swing Auditorium

The comments are right on. This has all the thrills of versions later in the year, but it’s more focused.

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

I think this might be the best of fall ’77! Really do not miss this one.
West L.A. Fadeaway
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

A really terrific version of a song I don’t ordinarily care much about. One for the summer ’90 highlight reel.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 12, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Busy, clanging Slipknot! here. Very interesting and worthy of multiple listens.
Friend of the Devil
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

There are obvious flaws — it takes them a few moments to get on the same beat — but this weird, jagged version is like no other I’ve heard. A great example of whatever the fuck was going on in ’78 that made it so different from every other year.
