This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

Brent on this outro jam. Wowzee.
Take A Step Back

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Haha I can't believe I'm commenting on "take a step back" but this one here is where Bobby is downright angry about how things are going with the crowd.

Somewhat short but very well played SS. The jam out this real nice and showed what the boys were capable of in '84. Sort of jazzy bluesy spacey rock then add in the synth that Brent brought to the mix. Fall '84 was tight with some of the more competant playing from the band.

P H I L! Wowsa.The only other more Phil-chord-bombed version I can think of his Freedom '74.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Springfield Civic Center

Welcome to the most fanned out Franklin's ever people. Also agree with the level of space in this Slipknot. It really takes on a musical life of its own.
