They're really starting to stretch it out by now...formative version.

The jam at the end is pure heaven. Sometimes referred to as a Caution Jam, but not really. The segue into a monster Other One Phil bomb is unrivaled.

Way cool sequence of jams. Phil leads. The space is positively apocalyptic. You must check it out!

Selland Arena

Solid jazzy version, inspired playing. Check out the wah wah riff at the 14' mark.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Beacon Theatre

13 minute Slipknot, perhaps a record? Very spacey - disintegrates then reassembles before the final riffs going into Franklin's.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

If you're a fan of the Feelin' Groovy jam they did in '73-'74, this is perhaps the finest. Creative, energetic and super smooth. Positively orgasmic, actually.

I'll second (fifth?) this one! My second show, and the one where I jumped on the bus and held on for dear life. 150+ shows later this is still a stand out - the entire 2nd sets rocks like nobody's business.
