Augusta Civic Center

Big, boomy, mountain-scary drums from one of the best shows in '84. Hair-raising.

Very tight, jammed-out version from my favorite '84 show.

Beacon Theatre

Things get super spacy and jazzy here. Bobby does perfect rhythm work throughout. This isn't just another '76 version. 13:55 has to be a record time for Slipknot, as mentioned above. This is a great recording. Get both nights at the Beacon '76.

Brent's Dynoed-Rhodes keys during the out jam are incredible. It almost sounds like he is playing a vibraphone!

This one is remarkable for Bobby's insane solo near the first verse.

Most unique Stranger solo I have heard from Jerry. He goes through a series of Mutron effects and Brent gets funky on his Dynoed-Rhodes Piano with wah. I truly heady version.
