I had forgotten how much I love this show! From BEW to the end this show provides some exemplary playing. This BEW is butter, clean as a whistle.

Very, very tight version. Weir goes crazy, and screams. Really good rendition, in a hot show.

Garcia gives it his all. Rippin' solos, and clear concise leads. Voice is a little rough, but he manages to hit pretty high levels of insanity.

Fantastically jammed and layered version that is definitely worth multiple listens.

Smokin'!!! Garcia's tone just sounds incredibly polished, just relaxed cranking from Jerry this whole show.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 17, 1975
Winterland Arena

Super cool, first Help on the Way ever performed live. The slipknot is absolutely massive, and a great franklins tower to top off the suite. Superb playing from an often overlooked 1975 show.
Ship of Fools
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

Maybe the best post 77' version, and is clearly a sublime and emotive rendition of a great song.
Samson and Delilah
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

Blistering, and powerful. Super fiery solos here, this version is SMOKIN'.
