Very strong outro jam. Jerry may have had shaky fingers but he really busted his ass to deliver here.

Jerry is absolutely dialed in, hot solo. Basically unknown show due to only AUDs avail.

Really beautiful version, Jerry clearly emotionally invested in the delivery. Great playing too despite the year. Worth a listen.

Should have more votes. Charges right out of the gate with the drummers letting Jerry run once through the intro before coming in. Perfectly executed, acoustic tone as always sounds amazing - really on a Fall 93 kick right now. Rain>Shakedown>Wang Dang>Cold Rain probably blew the Garden up. Opening night.

25(!) minute version with a mellow and well explored outro jam. Fall 93 needs more love!!!

Winter tour 93 needs more love. spicy and well jammed. I do wish vince would have played more than block chords on some songs, though - and I'm a big vince fan.

Great one, and ripping solos, but no way can it compete with 3/21/94.

Absolutely ripping version. Fall 93 is notable because Jerry had really this fantastic new acoustic sounding tone AND he was still playing very competently. This is one of my favorite slipknots because Jerry switches over to the clean acoustic tone for a VERY interesting and fast-paced jam in the middle. Wish he'd done that more in some of these traditionally distortion filled jams in the 90s. Help>Slip is unreal, kind of coked up, and HOT, while Franklins is definitely the weakest part of the trifecta, but still very enjoyable.
