Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

Big River

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 19, 1976
Capitol Theatre

By 76 this song was definitely tested, worn in, so on Slip they seriously just go. Extremely heady youtube of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEA5zgNk0ec That groove bobby instigates at 10:26, the rippling tidal waves of Mickeys virtuosic cymbal work, phil n bil bombing and crunching and jerry's mockingbird wail, an important early slip in new jersey, franklin's is jazzy immediate and punchin', just resplendent! /// What an amazing sound 76 has, so patient and exploratory.
