Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Spacey, LONG, jam. There's a video, and you can see Bob smiling as Jerry somehow nails the last climax of the jam and they slam into the chorus.

Hot version - Jerry's guitar tone is thicker than it was in 94, he's totally present and playing some of those added riffs like in 10/12/83.

Lots of very under the radar shows in 82. This version is perfectly executed from start to finish - great end jam with huge finish.

Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

Nice to hear Jerry use a clean tone during slipknot - sounds great with his tone in this period. Similar feeling to 9/22 at MSG earlier this fall - I don't think this version is quite as good but this slip is a couple mins longer than 9/22

Better than the one from the 22nd. Can't imagine being on that MSG run though and hearing 2 Ramble on Roses IN NEW YORK CITY 5 days apart...

Forgot to comment when I heard this one. A classic, well played dew. Not as wild as 6/18 but strongly played and cohesive. Solos might be better on this one, even, but Jerry's vocals are better on 6/18, as noted above

Check out the first set too DS! First duprees since 90 and its HOT. Great loser, masterpiece, let it grow as well - and the closer Baby Blue is my fav version

Very strong outro, this is a very kind show and extremely slept on due to the notoriety of the following night
