Seattle Center Coliseum

Rocks & roars, fast & sweet, out of deep space & eerie Terrapin, soars into healthy Wharf Rat...

Seattle Center Coliseum

Ebbs, flows & builds! Feels kinda funny to mention after chats of '77 Sugarees and Alaska a week away but this whole show is brilliant!

Terrapin Station
June 13, 1980
Seattle Center Coliseum

Rises from an earthly, eerie place, climbs to a wild, arcane battle. Surreal urgency after ridicous China-Rider-CC....

Holy Smokes! Rages and then gently glides into a hot China-Rider-CCRider-Terrapin.....

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...)
Wharf Rat

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 19, 1990
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.
