Previous unheard recording of Phil bombing a small club in SF for around 8 minutes. More than worth a listen!

Nice funky R&C. Also happens to be the last JGB show w/ Keith & Donna. Love Jer’s vox(especially “I’ve been afraid and I don’t know why I do). Heady!

Feel Like A Stranger

One of the best Strangers I’ve heard. Great opening and Bob is in good voice. I really enjoy the jam in this version. Jerry rips it up! Great show also, especially for ‘86.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This Help>Slip>Franks is a great version from the 80s. This is from one of my all time favorite shows, and this second set opener is one of the reasons why. Even though Jer screws up the lyrics to Help on the Way, he nails all the guitar parts, and they go straight into Slipknot!. This Slip is very intense, with Jerry, Brent, and Phil leading the show. They go crazy all over this version. The Franklin’s is fast, but the boys still jam well on it, and Jerry makes up for the vocals on Help with the vocals here. Only one or two missed vocals. Nice jam that leads the band into Estimated. Always thought that this should’ve been labeled Help>Slip>Franks>Estimated>Eyes>etc. Great version from a great show
