Encore version from a show that deserves some love.

There are some tempo fluctuations, but Jerry is hot this whole show.

Great playing from the entire band in this version, and kicks off a nice "TS > Drums > Space."

Nice mellow version in a show that deserves some attention.

The whole thing is great, but Jerry's solo is so melodic and joyful, how can you not love it?

Oh no question, but it's nice that it has some company!

cgarces, you might like this one. I know you don't avoid the later ones and appreciate a nice S>F. I've read that some consider this the last great show, and there is def. some X factor here. Also a few weeks before another great version I think you know, and I believe this one hits a similar vein.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Jam of the Week so I gave it a spin. This is a pretty decent version, cgarces, you should give this a listen!
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The > out of the DS is really cool. Billy and Phil are there while Jerry and Bobby are still returning to earth, and after some vamping, the thing takes off and cooks. Never heard a Cumberland quite like this one.

Goes off the rails quickly. Dark, brooding, intense jamming. Forgot they hadn't even played the first verse in that long excursion. Top notch stuff.
