I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

The lightning strike and power hiccup causes Phil to go and drop a terrifying number of bombs leading into the - I'll get up and fly away section. It's so great.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 1, 1976
Market Square Arena

This is the Slipknot! that all other Slipknots! aim to be when they grow up. If in the right mood you will forget that you are even listening to Slipknot, before it triumphantly returns and goes into a great Franklin's. Fall '76 is when they got it going on, heading in to the legendary Spring of '77.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

Wow. The jam is outstanding as '74 Playins have come to be known. This one is a fused Playin' jam and Slipknot. You get to hear Jer's mind working in developing the classic Slipknot runs. Very cool stuff. Trippinessss.
