Ramble On Rose
Oct. 23, 1973
Metropolitan Sports Center

Sharp, delightful version. Supercharged Keith’s melodic lines will keep you guessing.

Jack Straw

Metropolitan Sports Center

Do not miss! Jerry and Billy delicately dance across this while Phil subtly challenges the stability.

Very cohesive version with a noticeable snap. And Phil’s prominent in the recording.

The Other One

Downs of Santa Fe

Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Terrapin Station
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

A strong outro and, especially, a charming ambient jam into Drums make this version a keeper.
Looks Like Rain
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

There are so many unbelievably great LLRs in ’76–’77, and, well, here’s another one. But this one also stands out even in that company because of all these detailed flourishes by Phil, Jerry, and especially Keith.
Uncle John's Band
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

There are moments of pulse-quickening, heartbreaking beauty. Astounding.
Wharf Rat
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

Don’t be surprised — Wharf Rat wasn’t played at this show!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 30, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

I like this version! Not more than the best ’70s versions, but that’s beside the point — this kicks ass. One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet: Jerry teases the China Cat > Rider jam (one of the licks he played in the ’80s and ’90s) in the middle of Slipknot!
