Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

A quick and driven entrance into the Help featuring Brent and Phil filling elusively and Jerry nailing it; Very intricate Knot; Infectious Franklins.

New Minglewood Blues
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

A roaring Minglewood; Check Weir's good slide solo, Garcia's ripping solo; Some fat Phil and some Gospel Brent.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Poignant yet not somber, slow but not dragging; Mellow serene and emotive; Very strong full band interplay.

SF Civic

Headiness such as this excluded? THIS S>F is downright profound. Perhaps due to the passing of Parish's wife and daughter, Garcia adds some dark vibes

Loose Lucy
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium

This is flat out smokin. Lesh dominates this and nearly every note is played to perfection. Superior version.
Bird Song
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium

Solid version, Garcia keeps this one going strong. Multiple peaks, and hints of jazz
