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.

Friend of the Devil
April 21, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

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

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1984
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

Absolutely nasty tease, would've been too epic if they had played it. Crowd would've torn the place to shreds.
Midnight Hour
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Superior version, most definitely a favorite of mine.
Morning Dew
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

Garcia's solos are as powerful as you will possibly find, definitely worth checking out.
Crazy Fingers
Sept. 7, 1985
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Smooth version from a sick show
If I Had The World To Give
Nov. 20, 1978
Cleveland Music Hall

Perfect, they nail it, should have played it more throughout their years.
