In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

I wouldn't call this a ripper, but it's very good, yet still maintaining a mellow tone with intensity where needed, including a nice build towards the finish. Best post early '70's version that I know of.

This is much better than I expected. Both the intro and outro jams are wonderful, fun and interesting. A most unique jam for Dancin'.

short and sweet.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

This is a fine fine version and I put in a vote for an under appreciated Help, with Phil's bass undergirding clean playing from the rest. The Slipknot is as advertised. My goodness Phil lets it rip on this. The Franklin is the weak link but it's nothing to sneeze at and it's not very weak.

Oh my this is a fine version. A really good Bobby solo and Bobby continues to shine throughout the jam. Harmonies are good.
