Row Jimmy
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater
Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre
Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

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

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.
