Super extended, gentle, blissful intro, with a Playin Reprise tease at the end.

Man, Jerry does not play a single errant note on this one. Every single note is perfectly placed, and perfectly sequenced. What a joy to listen to.

Absolutely outstanding. Orgasmic, really.

Slipknot really launches into outer space here! Gently, beautifully and patiently. There's even a little taste of a Spanish Jam nestled in there. It's a shame that some users might not find this version because it can't appear on the HELP>SLIP>FRANK entry, due to the lack of Franklin's. Makes me feel like Slipknot! should have its own entry!

Very cohesive and beautiful version. Not a mist or a single wasted note. I find this one to be highly underrated. It's top five for me, easily.

Just watched this version on YouTube and had to come here to give it an up vote. Absolutely smashing start to a sweet summer show. Bobby lets the jam section open up and go a few extra measures which lets Jerry really explore the fretboard.
