The sense of urgency is spectacular. Listen to the top 10 or so and become utterly confused as to which is 2nd, 3rd, 4th, but this is close (for me, 9/3/77 will always be first... it simply suffers from the same stuff 5/8/77, etc., suffers from... Too much hype... it needs to be experienced with no expectations... It'll hit you when you least expect it...)

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

First one after Brent's death. 10th show without him. Franklin's bounces with energy, then fades out poignantly in the end, as if they had a moment where they suddenly realized this just might work..... And it did. For a while. Often. Powerful show.
