Good early version, (5th time played) The only time I saw it close the first set, worth a listen.

Rec Hall, Penn State U

The final jam goes at least once more around than usual. Weir is strumming like a mad man and Lesh as many power chords, great version.RT Vol. 3 No. 4

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This Help>Slipknot! > Franklins is the best I saw in 83’ the break-out year. Overall it was a great show, my first at Red Rocks and probably the best show I saw that summer tour. The Slipknot! really shines, Weir has some amazing chord structures, it kind of has three different jams at least feels at the 6 minute mark or so Jerry finds a very cool rift, up and down the scales and then Weir at the finish is astonishing. Check it out, If you love Slipknot and I know you do, this version absolutely needs more votes.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

The Spectrum

The last of 5 Help>Slip>Franklins I heard in the Spring of 83, this one is my favorite. Overall it was a great show, my 100 on tour and probably the best Spectrum show I saw, The into to Help is not as crisp as Hampton, but the Sliptknot! really shines. Check it out, this version needs more votes.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Hampton Coliseum

Another large bust-out at Hampton, these Warlock shows were pretty amazing, the crowd both nights were memorized, I like the audience tapes. Good version, not great but well played, I really like Brent’s tone and contribution and Phil is all over his 6-String.

Hampton Coliseum

Great version from what was the first East Coast version since 77, my first as well. A fairly large bust-out at the time, well played. Massive Phil bombs, drummers are in sync, the first of 5 Slipknots! I heard that spring.

Good version, closing jam builds nicely, doesn’t have the power of Portland later in the year.
