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.

Philadelphia Civic Center

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

Philadelphia Civic Center

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

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

The energy is off the chain, this is my favorite. Great way to blow up the house.

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Yes! Absolutely this is sick. Smoking version, from a smoking show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

This is one of the best versions I have ever heard. Jerry thunders through this with some incredibly explosive leads, and the whole band is there with him.
