“Definitely one of the best Help-Slip-Franklin you can find.”

Heard it many many many times and it is always amazing. Definitely one of the best Help-Slip-Franklin you can find. Music Never Stopped is also one of my favorites. Sugaree is also on point.

There are probably no DeadHeads who have not heard this one. FM>C90s of the show were well-traded and there was a common vinyl boot. It used to confuse me when people talked about '75 being the "hiatus year", because I had this show and thought it must have been a big year! What most of us didn't know was that this was an invite-only, album release promotion. Rather than book with a promoter, they self-rented this tiny 400-seater in The Tenderloin district.

Small Edit: I love how Bill Graham calls out Ron Rackow or ever how you spell the guys name. But Bill talking about how he wanted $12.50 for being there & dude wanted to "flip for it" which in my way of thinking he was trying to get out of giving him $12.50 & because of that he ended up giving him $50! Bill Graham always gives such an excellent introduction. I'm glad he got $50 for being there. In 1975 that $50 was close to getting $250-$300 in today's money.

Who knows what a full years worth of touring would have done with this new material during 1975. The opening of this show Intro —Help-)Slip-) Frank is easily In the top openings to a show Thinking Valentine 1970 Intro-)Casey Jones By 1976 there is already a different vibe to the Blues for Allah material not to mention No live Blues for Allah after 75 When I listen to this it still blows me away! I like how they have built in vocals for Donna Jean.
