Wow! This one builds mightily. With a brand new Touch of Grey (1st ever!) encore to follow!

Smooth and slinky, beautifully sandwiched between a gorgeous High Time and a flawless He's Gone!

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.
