Strong Phil and great vocals version. Just so tight throughout. Triumphant version as the pre-end-jam-era versions go.

The band builds it up beautifully to the "Won't you tell everyone you meet" verse.

Greek Theatre - University of California

I love how Jer starts this one out (mistankingly?) like a reprise version coming out of Playin'. Great tight 80s jams here, well played by the boys.

Phil is on it for this Shakedown and in a creative mood. The jam is super tight.
Wharf Rat

Philadelphia Civic Center

1st show and this space>Wharf Rat is where I go it. I could have gone for many more Rats out of space.

Philadelphia Civic Center

April was hot for HSF. The Slipknot here rolls into multiple creative themes without rush. Real hot jams and a good Franklins.

This was one of those nights that the band cared about each note.
