Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 19, 1976
Capitol Theatre
This version is what truly made me get on the bus for life. Beautiful vocals on this version, especially on Help on the Way. This Slipknot! is tight and spacey. It’s a version you can get totally lost in, and you wouldn’t know where you are until they go into the outro theme into Franklin’s Tower. This Franklin’s is one for the ages. Those opening notes are tremendous and funky, with Keith and Phil layin’ it down, and Jerry soloing all over it. While this Franklin’s is relatively short(9 mins), it’s more than enough to knock your socks off. After the outro, they go into TMNS, which is slow and beautiful, Jerry nailing the opening notes, and Bobby and Donna nail the vocals(always likes how they weren’t always in synch with each other on the vocals). Great Help>Slip!>Franklins>Music. Check out the video of it on YouTube.
