Never thought I'd dig this song so much. They're just so on this whole night (week actually).

Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!

Brilliant version, flawlessly executed in the return show. Jerry has that buzz-saw tone throughout the long and interesting Help>Slip transition, and Phil takes a cool solo.

Great comment from Glyn. Great version and a pivotal moment transitioning post-hiatus.

Not my favorite Franklin, (seems to drag a bit by the last vocals) but the mellow welcome-to-'76 vibe for the Help>Slip part are inspired. The setlist for this show is the stuff of dreams.

Very funny transition from a silly-slow start to a double-time finish. Half the band doesn't know what the f' is happening until they catch up. Funny capper to an historically important show.

Considering that the '76 Dead brought Mickey back, this song seems all the more important. If ever there's a two-drummer tune in the mid-70s repertoire, this is it. Great feel to it, and Bobby's kicking the shit out of the lyric. Great debut to a great song.
