Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

branford's face during the slipknot intro is priceless...... Help on the way is kind of flaccid, not the best 90s version, but I love this slip. then I would say the Franklin is the highlight, fucking awesome rendition. You've got Welnik doing his island shit, Hornsby going nuts and Branford sounds like the Blues Clues soundtrack .... Jerry in purple like Father Time guiding us to that bell on the four winds. Trippy jammed out and awesome 90s Franklin.

man i always love this one.... Quite the vibe. Jerry and Bill look just awful. Phil looks wonderful in his flares, adding a spring in his step to the proceedings.... Weir still in his polos and jeans phase. Anyways they sound awesome and the coda is quite bluesy
