Definitly the best one! The 1st 2 hours are a little plodding, but once the acid kicked in, it was smoooth sailing!

Cliche, but how in the Holy Hell is this version not listed? This whole show smokes in that beautuful 78 way...

If a better board of this show had been circulating, this Bertha would be so much higher, and right into one of the best Good Lovins ever, Fall 77

Holy Shit Morty, this is, this is the most kick ass Scarlet>Fire I've ever heard MOrTy, I mean Jeez, It's like Jerry snorted Gold dust and Phil just shot his load all over the place Morty, it's a Bungle in the Jungle Morty, it's like Heaven, only with Sofas...
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

I was lucky enough to be present for this Scarlet>Fire! and what a fucking beautiful 3 days camped out in the grassy parking lots of Autzen Stadium, and this 2nd set was just OFF THE RAILS! The short 1st set didn't really give me a suspicion that they would come out like they did, but the hour set break must've had many libations cuz it was great, at the end jam of Uncle Johns and The Other One, there were full on deadhead style mosh pits on Phil side near the front!

It sucks that the first person to name a song on here gets the comment everyone's gonna see for all times....This is way more than a 'nice version' and what the fuck does 'hard to find Franklins' mean? This show was easy to get when this site popped up!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 1, 1976
Market Square Arena

You MUST LISTEN TO THIS VERSION! It is SO creative and wildly free form during Slipknot that it defies Time and Space! The PERFECT example of 76 having it's OWN UNIQUE THING GOING ON! Listen to this Slipknot and you'll see what I mean, uniquely '76' ...
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Great American Music Hall

I just gotta say to the dude who said this show is the 'most overrated of all time", well, you're insane, or not listening with your soul or something, because this show is one of the masterpieces that they ever threw down....
