Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

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

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

Franklin's Tower

Baltimore Civic Center

This is on fire... Trippy and dark show, really good stuff.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 26, 1972
Music Hall

This might just be the best ever... Really, this is sick. 1972 is just jam packed with heady versions and this is easily deserving a top ten or maybe top five consideration.
