One of the craziest, spaciest, and wacky versions you’ll ever hear

The final version from an epic China>Rider. Doesn’t get any better

One of the best versions of this song that Jerry did. There seems to be 2 guitar players on this track. Anyone have any info on that?

Kevin Tobin just put out a nice video of this Garcia/Kahn show with great audio. I didn’t know they played this one as a duo. Great version!

Surprised this version isn’t on here. Bobby’s vocals and playing are great, and Brent’s verse and solo really make this a top tier version

This is my favorite moment in any Dead show so far. Great transition from Eyes. Listen to Bobby!

One of the best Strangers I’ve heard. Great opening and Bob is in good voice. I really enjoy the jam in this version. Jerry rips it up! Great show also, especially for ‘86.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

This Help>Slip>Franks is a great version from the 80s. This is from one of my all time favorite shows, and this second set opener is one of the reasons why. Even though Jer screws up the lyrics to Help on the Way, he nails all the guitar parts, and they go straight into Slipknot!. This Slip is very intense, with Jerry, Brent, and Phil leading the show. They go crazy all over this version. The Franklin’s is fast, but the boys still jam well on it, and Jerry makes up for the vocals on Help with the vocals here. Only one or two missed vocals. Nice jam that leads the band into Estimated. Always thought that this should’ve been labeled Help>Slip>Franks>Estimated>Eyes>etc. Great version from a great show
