Outstanding solo on this one.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

This is one of the few versions of a Dead song that is so perfect it makes it difficult for me to listen to other versions. The way slipknot resolves and then franklins jumps out is one of the best seques they ever played.

The headlight section of rider brings a tear to my eye. And Hornsby just brings this whole version up to whole new level.
