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

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

Love that Jerry's actually using a wah pedal here, rather than just his mutron and distortion. Great version

Very cool breakdown in the middle of slipknot - they take it all the way down and then all the way back up. excellent slip

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