Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

A quick and driven entrance into the Help featuring Brent and Phil filling elusively and Jerry nailing it; Very intricate Knot; Infectious Franklins.

New Minglewood Blues
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

A roaring Minglewood; Check Weir's good slide solo, Garcia's ripping solo; Some fat Phil and some Gospel Brent.

Friend of the Devil
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Poignant yet not somber, slow but not dragging; Mellow serene and emotive; Very strong full band interplay.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1984
SF Civic

Headiness such as this excluded? THIS S>F is downright profound. Perhaps due to the passing of Parish's wife and daughter, Garcia adds some dark vibes

Yes! This is one of the best.
Jack Straw

Insanely hot version. Would be best Jack Straw ever, but is hampered by some horrible lyric flubs
Big River

Kezar Stadium

Yes! This is dank
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 26, 1973

Me and My Uncle

Bobby going solo acoustic after Jerry breaks a string. An interesting version, pretty cool.
