Embarrassingly bad > from "Wheel," but full-on assault from the band that rages throughout otherwise.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center

Jerry bumbles through most of a verse in “Help” but it doesn’t really sound bad. Super heady “Slipknot,” one of the best I’ve heard and not to be missed. Transition a bit slow for my taste, but quite spacey. Fantastic first chorus in “Franklin’s.” Phil!~ Crowd goes absolutely fucking nuts during the tremolo strumming, huge full room peak with inventive playing right before. What’s not to be loved?
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Nice “Scarlet,”with inventive Garcia playing. Nice drone from Phil in the final minute of the transition. > short but well executed, with a chordal riff from Jerry I don’t recall hearing anyplace else. Unbelievably mellow start to the third pairing of these two songs. Jerry hits it hard with the Mutron solo, and the vibe is so relaxed here. Get the Seamons matrix, it’s perfect!
