An early short version, coming in at about 7 minutes, but the jam is intense and wonderful.

this is a perfectly fine version, but this is about finding other songs from this concert that are registered but not showing.

Kinda' surprised this hasn't been listed. It's a worthy version.

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.
