Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

Grate version... listen carefully at the beginning you can hear Jerry yell "put your acid in!"

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

I personally think this is the best version of slipknot, jam is insane, almost reminiscent of 72-74 level jamming. The help and franklin's don't quite stack up though. 8/13/75 is the best of the whole combo
Eyes Of The World

Alexandra Palace

Lol and the branford version is rated number 1? what a joke... 73-74 was the peak of eyes jams. This is a prime example
Me and My Uncle
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Find me a better Me and My Uncle. It doesn't exist. Pretty silly that the 4/24/78 version is at the top of the list... not even remotely close to the power and precision shown here. The fact that this isn't even top 20 is just silly.

Also, Keith is spectacular on this show. This is no exception
