Yale Bowl, Yale University

A great vesion from ’71 with a unique Darkness Darkness transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda. Very deep, spiritual interplay.

Mother's Day Dead, One of the best GDTR from the early 80's, Weir is just thrashing chords during the second jam, check it out

A Major Break-Out, you must hear the crown reaction, none of the '83 versions really stand out, but this needs to be heard.

Great version from a great show, I love how Jerry growls the “Last fair deal…” line great stuff, foreshadowing the Werewolves to come.

The first time I saw Aiko Aiko, great singing by Garcia, clearly having a blast. RPI is an underrated show, with many, many highlights.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This Help>Slipknot! > Franklins is the best I saw in 83’ the break-out year. Overall it was a great show, my first at Red Rocks and probably the best show I saw that summer tour. The Slipknot! really shines, Weir has some amazing chord structures, it kind of has three different jams at least feels at the 6 minute mark or so Jerry finds a very cool rift, up and down the scales and then Weir at the finish is astonishing. Check it out, If you love Slipknot and I know you do, this version absolutely needs more votes.

The last of 5 Help>Slip>Franklins I heard in the Spring of 83, this one is my favorite. Overall it was a great show, my 100 on tour and probably the best Spectrum show I saw, The into to Help is not as crisp as Hampton, but the Sliptknot! really shines. Check it out, this version needs more votes.

Hampton Coliseum

Another large bust-out at Hampton, these Warlock shows were pretty amazing, the crowd both nights were memorized, I like the audience tapes. Good version, not great but well played, I really like Brent’s tone and contribution and Phil is all over his 6-String.

Great version from what was the first East Coast version since 77, my first as well. A fairly large bust-out at the time, well played. Massive Phil bombs, drummers are in sync, the first of 5 Slipknots! I heard that spring.

Good version, closing jam builds nicely, doesn’t have the power of Portland later in the year.
