Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 9, 1983
Hampton Coliseum

I'm generally a fan of the 81-84 era, but I never got the love for this show. It's one of the sloppiest I've ever heard in terms of blown/forgotten lyrics, rushed songs, and missed entries in nearly every song. This H>S>F is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with this show. Jerry forgets multiple verses, the pace is hyperspeed and the whole thing is shorter than a lot of standalone Franklin's. Pass.

I prefer this one slightly over Augusta, but they're both great. Hunter's matrix is the copy to have for this show.

The one that rivals this one is 9/2/79.

Huh? It's hard to find a Jack Straw that isn't superb.

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This place needs a general message board, too. I've thought that before as well.
