SLIPKNOT Vinyl & CDs

Review: Taken from the New York City date of Slipknot's fourth full-length tour in support of All Hope Is Gone, Live At MSG delivers an encapsulation of what would serve as one of the final live runs from the original 9-man collective. Recorded in Madison Square Garden on February 5, 2009, the setlist features an onslaught of every integral cut from the band's back catalogue up to that point, including 'Wait & Bleed', 'Spit It Out', 'People = Shit', 'Left Behind', 'Before I Forget', and 'Psychosocial', to name just a handful. Before the untimely passing of bassist Paul Gray and drummer Joey Jordison, as well as the questionable turnover and revolving door nature that has plagued the line-up in the last decade, this collection transcends standard live album definition, rather serving as a time capsule of one of the final statements from the core line-up many will forever consider as the definitive Slipknot.
