Truly proves there was some magic on every tour. The outro jam is unreal hot, with Jerry, Vince, and Bruce battling it out. Crazy stuff here!

Jerry gets really into it in the second half. Not lifechanging, but fun

Excellent, hard-charging version from arguably the best show of 87. Bobby stuttering all over the verses

Quite surprised by Jerry's moderately competent playing in the jam.

Slipknot, especially the first half, is EXTREMELY hot. Bruce-driven at the beginning but Jerry brings the heat as well
