In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

For sentimental reasons: Maybe not the best, but nice extended out-row jam, overall well-played '80s

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.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 19, 1990
Internationales Congress Centrum

Should be higher, especially thanks to Bruce. Vince does a nice job too. 15 minutes in.....
