Searing, energetic, and shredding

Jerry and Phil absolutely tear this one apart

A steamroller of a version, that only provides an inkling of what was too come in the second set

Really nice JS>Franklin's to open

Colorful and quick

This version is known for the unique and rewarding detour from the usual Help>Slip>Franklins configuration to the Help>Slipknot>Drums>Samson>Slipknot> Franklins setup. Samson is typically not one of my favorite songs, but they really tear this version up, and it works, albeit surprisingly. The real treat here, however, comes in the form of the transition out of the Samson into the Slipknot, its smooth and super unexpected. The Slipknot is an intricate complex and looping rendition which certainly helps solidify this whole suites contention. But, what appears to me the highlight of the entire thing is the Franklins, which is just absolutely smokin', I believe it is voted #1 on the Franklin's Tower individual page.

Garces, yeah I see that now, but they all deserve to be on here anyway, so I guess the statement still makes sense. Great show all around.

Fall 77' was in my opinion nearly on par with the spring. Excellent performances throughout the whole tour. However, the season seems to be underrated unfortunately, and some great shows have been pulled from the archive because of the Road Trips release. This Half Step is powerful and contains a huge bridge jam, which is the portion of the song in which I judge the harshest, and listen the closest to.

Dark and full of shadowy undertones. Slow meandering, and stomping, rhythmic, and bouncing. Sweeping and capturing. The imagery is vivid and powerful, deserves consideration for top 10.

Outstanding Half-Step, needs votes now.
