Excellent bridge. The band extends and extends and never loses their way. Very heady version.

I love the jam on this one. The interplay between Jerry and Brent is excellent. This is the start of a real face melt pre-drums.

Great '84 jammin'. Jer stays on the edge of the tracks almost dropping off and the jam goes on and on.

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.
