Whopping marimba-laden, a hot, and wobbly excursion into '84 Space. Luxuriantly gorgeous though threatening.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Major version. The Dead on a hot night do "slip" into a rather nasty "space-yer-face" versh of the second one in the trilogy. Incredible stuff, everybody locking into the moment is a treasure. Franklin's is a lovely ray of westward orange waking after a deliriously tempting yet frightful daydream, surfin' bliss. The Help on ain't no slouch either. Franklin's is so joyous and giving in its pleasure, but also warns against excess!! this version rules, frantic prairies of lawless exploration and battles
