I know it's cliche at this point but I couln't believe this Samson wasn't on here yet...It's amazing with full blown 78 magic...

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

This is yet another example of Deadheads voting for a version simply because it's not only in 77 but it's the last one until 83, because this is NOT a good H>S>F...not at all. It's sloppy and all over the place, I mean it's a very difficult song to play, the Help>Slip at least and occasionally in 76-77 they 'slipped' no pun intended. Hell this slop fest might be why Jerry shelved it for 6 years...When you compare this with stellar 77 versions like 2/26, 4/23, 5/09, 5/22!!!!!!, 6/09!!!!!!! it doesn't even belong remotely this high, my God the fucking masterpiece that is 6/03/76 Paramount theater is beneath this???!!! No way...

What the hell are the cockmasters below me talking about? This is another in the line of smoking hot late 79 Scarlet>Fires! The transition into fire is just amazing....I'll admit that other close versions like 11/30/79 Stanley Theater, 11/01/79 Nassau are a bit better IMO bit this is right there with em...
