Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

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.
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.....
