@@leonardvernon7176 It's an old Italian song from Italy. Late 1800's commemorating the completion of a a railway around Mount Vesuvius. Catchy isn't it, kinda' like a quick polka
@leonardvernon7176 I remember hearing this song in old movies and such , probably also because of the lyrics . . So make sure to search out a rendition , like an Italian 78 r.p.m. , probably on TH-cam .
Highest quality musicianship of their career without question. I prefer 73 and 74 for the energy and musicianship combo. Big single drummer fan as well. Mickey just gets in the way most songs. Phil is more prominent in pre 75 hiatus mixes as well which I prefer. 77 is an amazing year start to finish. Probably their highest quality tour start to finish. Was a stellar year for Jerry's lyrical memory and voice quality as well which ads to the whole mystique of 77. 76 is jazzier, and in my opinion a better year overall. Maybe their best, but everyone sleeps on 76 because of Spring 77 Check out 76, might be even more compelling than 77. You really can't miss from 69-77. Creativity really fell off from the 80's on
Slipknot jams are some of the Dead's best and this one's among the top, obviously the whole run of songs is amazing but the Slipknot jam is always my favorite part and man is the one amazing
How do you rate it compared to 5-9-77? That was always my fav until I got into this one. Now it's a close call for me including the whole trilogy. Jerry's two verse jam in the middle of "Help on the Way" in both versions among the best as well.
When he came to play dude was untouchable. Savant improvisational player. Too bad he couldn't write. I think it would have changed some things historically for Keith. Rest easy brother, 71 through 74 was unquestionably the band at it's level best thanks in large part to your playing
This Franklin’s Tower seals the deal for me. I was working in the bay area at that point and saw this Winterland ‘77 box at Amoeba on Haight. Bit the bullet and bought it. Just remember driving down the misty rd along the shore listening to this Franklin’s Tower. My eyes wide open, my mind’s eyes wide open.
Great performance! Not 100% certain, but I believe I was there this night. btw, I approve of the slide of Coltrane--he was a significant influence on Garcia, and it is appropriate to put Garcia and Coltrane on the same exalted level of technical mastery and musical freedom.
Its is amazing how these tunes reveal themselves to me like flowers in a never ending bloom becoming increasingly beautiful through time. I get stuck on a certain lyric, a particular guitar or bass riff, I hear a roaring drum beat or whatever it is and I'm obsessed. Is this normal?
I had this bootleg back in 81 or 82. I can't even count the number of times I played that tape. I hate that they edited this with breaks to create 3 songs when, in reality, it's one long piece of music
Agreed. Don't believe this can be beat. The Franklins - coming out of Mississippi Half-Step - from 3/21/81 at the Rainbow Theater has an irresistible ferocity to it - and the Help/Slip/Franklins from 9/10/91, with Branford Marsalis in on it, is pretty special
Gawd dayum...even Donna Jean is in tune...one of the best indicators that a 70's dead show was on 🔥 is donna's vocals...if they were sounding good then the boys usually were too...if they weren't then it doesn't matter how well the boys were playing cause you know she's right there, getting ready to stab an ice pick into your ear...smhLMAO
Yeah, but if we use your criteria we can't say the Dead was "on" very often because Donna wasn't either. Or Phil for that matter if we're talking vocals.
Phil called this his favorite show and replayed it entirely a few years ago. In a different interview, he said that the band was never "quite the same" after 1975. In a sense, putting those statements together, I think of this show as the culmination of something very special.
Man could you imagine if Coltrane would’ve been able to sit in with them..... that would have brought peace to earth and ended world hunger and cured all diseases
Please check out Michael Sheehan photography. He has Many bands in his arsenal. I have purchased about 20 of his pieces. Mostly GD/JGB and WSP, Steve Kimock, Allman Brothers .. my list is deep. But point is, he has GREAT PHOTOS of our kind of music.
Um yea, part of Winterland ‘77 box set released a while back. Sold out and overpriced on eBay. Especially copies w/ the bonus disc. Lucky I got mine way back when
Everyone sleeping on that "Faniculi Fanicula" opener. Just magical
im digging it
What is it from?

1977 was one of the best years for the boys. Every tape I have from 77 is just so moving.

@@mattschrader5047 One drummer for sure. Mickey made the rhythm sound like sludge.
@@mattschrader5047 78 is better.
I give this my unqualified highest rating of “Pure Unadulterated Ear Candy of the Highest Order” thanks Betty the Ear 👂
My son was born on this day!!! Whe n the violent femmes opened @ Buckeye! Jerry played Reuben and Cherise

Absolutely!
Its classical based theoretically thats why most cover bands stay away from it
I just want to say that Keith Godchaux is pretty awesome throughout this show.
He's incredible when he wants to be. We got a different Keith post hiatus. Still killer but stuccato piano. More chourdish, less melodic. Love Keith
When he came to play dude was untouchable. Savant improvisational player. Too bad he couldn't write. I think it would have changed some things historically for Keith. Rest easy brother, 71 through 74 was unquestionably the band at it's level best thanks in large part to your playing
Love Keith.
Brent getting in there for Keith and Donna was an upgrade, though.
@@joeseddit Well he was a two-fer and when he joined, Keith was literally a zombie some nights and Donna had devolved along with him.
Back in the day I tried to get into the Dead but couldn't quite 'get it'. Then a buddy lent me this tape. Been grateful ever since.
1977 was a very very Jerry good year.
Andrew Heller wish I was there for it, I was too busy being -18 😔
I was busy being 16 for being busy to me was going on dead tour. Thank you for real good time some of the best years of my life smile smile smile
@Andrew Heller ~~Yes it was. 77 was a great year had by all of them (~):}
1972 best year in my humble opinion!?!?!
@@sammyboy7163 Ha ha - too busy being 9

Possibly the best Franklins, dare I say. But my o my….ear deliciousness right here my friends. ‘77 was pure Dead magic!
I have this show on tape. Phil is going off it's like he wants to play this song all night. He really drives Jerry
Jerry is ripping it. The whole band is smoking actually. I think late 70's is my favorite dead live era.
Best Help on the Way/ Slipknot!/ Franklin's Tower I've heard. Ever.
This is my favourite Dead album and this is the best version I ve heard of these tracks.
absolutely
Not offered as supior but Greek 83 Healys Birthday is a monster.
Perfect tempo for the trio--I like when it's pushed a bit
I love Phil's playing on Franklin's Tower. The way he and Jerry bounce stuff off of each other is (fill in the superlative of your choice) !!!!!
The shit
One of the best shows ! What a setlist ! And executed like spring 77 . One of my favorite shows .
Great performance! Not 100% certain, but I believe I was there this night. btw, I approve of the slide of Coltrane--he was a significant influence on Garcia, and it is appropriate to put Garcia and Coltrane on the same exalted level of technical mastery and musical freedom.
If there's a better Help-Slip-Franklins then I definitely need to hear it bc this one is simply AMAZING
10 12 83 msg is pretty fire too
Finiculi Finicula composed in Italy in 1880
AdaedA1 yes! Thank you kindly💜⚡️
Keith picks it right up while Weir paws at some chords.
yup thanks cuz i was gonna google this as soon as i heard it. not the year but the exact spelling i had to make mental note of
Every human should listen to this. Amazing. Best Help>slip>Frank I've ever heard. Wonderful.
Saw 2 of these shows back to back. Got out of one show, and back in line for the next..My first shows in California. Hitch Hiked from Sacramento.
I was there too :) I became a Deadhead during those shows!
This version is so epic, that the Dead only played it one more time in 77 before shelving it until 1983.
Best period with Keith and Donna Jean 🎵🎵💗💓💞🎵🎵🎵🎵💕💕💕💕🎈🎈🎈🎈
Its is amazing how these tunes reveal themselves to me like flowers in a never ending bloom becoming increasingly beautiful through time. I get stuck on a certain lyric, a particular guitar or bass riff, I hear a roaring drum beat or whatever it is and I'm obsessed. Is this normal?
It’s the Dead my brother, it’s whatever you want it to be 😎✌️🇺🇸
just as you can't step in the same river twice, you can't listen to the same dead recording twice. they who is knowing the sound never stops changing.
I remember being at this show and just found some pictures in my office that I took that I took that night!
Phil bombs I love it!
🛣
Gotta love ‘77 Dead 💀
Almost Practically perfect band
Jerry explores the twilight zone here liquid Jerry!
Philip and his bass balls. Have mercy!
Betty Board, Sonic Marvel!
Love it. ✌️😎
It's a good "Help" cause it's fast
Yessssss
They got a lot of “help” playing that fast lol
Berkeley Greek 83 Healys Birthday is another monster Help-Slip-Franklin’s. Love the ear candy.
Lock bolt n key
I had this bootleg back in 81 or 82. I can't even count the number of times I played that tape. I hate that they edited this with breaks to create 3 songs when, in reality, it's one long piece of music
Thanks Bob and Betty !
Eee-aaahhhhh. This tape was played til it broke
Enjoyed It Immensely. Thanks for the Share.
Im A Headlight On A Northbound Train I wish I was you
I think this is the best Help/Slip/Franklins I've ever heard. Anyone recommend others as good/better than this one?
Still partial to 8/13/75. Churns like a locomotive. Intro is also perfect. But this is up there. Meanders more for sure.
There are none. Don't let people fool you with the Buffalo one
Agreed. Don't believe this can be beat. The Franklins - coming out of Mississippi Half-Step - from 3/21/81 at the Rainbow Theater has an irresistible ferocity to it - and the Help/Slip/Franklins from 9/10/91, with Branford Marsalis in on it, is pretty special
One from the vault was my fav but this might be better
Kevin says no, but I'm gonna fool you with the Buffalo one. 5-9-77 is the date. It's pretty good. For me it's kind of a toss-up between the two.
Gawd dayum...even Donna Jean is in tune...one of the best indicators that a 70's dead show was on 🔥 is donna's vocals...if they were sounding good then the boys usually were too...if they weren't then it doesn't matter how well the boys were playing cause you know she's right there, getting ready to stab an ice pick into your ear...smhLMAO
Ah shut up.
Yeah, but if we use your criteria we can't say the Dead was "on" very often because Donna wasn't either. Or Phil for that matter if we're talking vocals.
sigh... i miss going to the show.
This is pure Jerry.
The eire intro sweetly subtle.
Help>Slip>Frank kicked off by Finiculi Finicula
JERRY.

6:46 pull this out if someone talks shit on my music
This triplet could be my desert island jam. You know that only tape for the rest of your life kind of thing. Or Cornel hmmm
My fave Help>Slip>Frank ever - come to think of it, it might be my fave Dead show ever.
coltrain pic in the help solo. yes I
Man could you imagine if Coltrane would’ve been able to sit in with them..... that would have brought peace to earth and ended world hunger and cured all diseases
On ALTO!!!???!!!! YES!
Man how many times did they play the Winterland in ‘77
3 shows in March. 3 shows in June. 4 shows in December.
@@joebarr725 I think the June run is my favourite although there’s incredible moments in all of them
Perfection
Right before the Persian would move in. One can only imagine . . .
Groovin
If I ever develop a time machine you’ll find me here.. I’m sure I see some of y’all too.
Flawless
This is special
great stuff!
damn dis be hoppin
Hard charging help❤
Weir never finished his continuing joke about the poodle on the bus .....
Help/slip/frank the two cigarette song for the band
Do t go too far. I just fell of me bed.🥴✨
Wow!
HSF Disco!
Better dead than Disco
Smokin beer barrel opener!!
Love it, but you can hear the cocaine inluence - the flow sounds a more "speedy" than normal like there is almost a franticness at work.

Ee-ah!
Is this available on an album?
If you could find a copy of "the soundtrack of my life"...
