Grateful Dead
Dead To The Core Project
Noteworthy Help>Slipknot!s and Franklins (A Collection)

This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Help On The Way,
Slipknot!, and Franklin\'s Tower played by the Grateful Dead. Except
for a few times when the songs were being written, you would never
hear a Help without a Slipknot! flowing out of it. After the \"debut\"
of these songs in 1975 (except for one time in September of 1991),
when you heard Help > Slipknot! you could be sure that a Franklin\'s
was on its way. On the other hand, there were a couple of relatively
long periods (from 1978-1982 and then again from 1985-1989) when it
was common enough to hear a Franklin\'s Tower combined with other
songs. The three songs were occasionally integrated into longer jams,
but most often they stood alone.

The collection is closely based on a list put together by Eric Wybenga
and published in his book _Dead To The Core: An Almanac of the
Grateful Dead_. In order to provide examples of some of the
HelpSlipless Franklin\'s, I have scoured his show reviews and added
some representative samples from 1978-1980. Several of Eric\'s
selections have been released commercially. In one case (5-22-77) I
had to replace his selection (I picked the Terrapin > Playin >
Franklin from 6-4-77). In all the other cases, there were either
audience recordings or recordings of FM radio broadcasts that I could
include safely.

The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the
performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs
included in the track. As just the core songs seemed to make the
collection large enough, and since these songs were usually
well-separated from their neighbors, I have tried to track things to
focus on the core. I\'ve included the jams more or less as they appear
in the original source, with occasional dead air (but not the noodling
that often flows into Help) cut from the beginning or the end of the
songs, and fades added where transitions are too harsh. I joined
tracks with \"shntool join\", and then I retracked and added simple
fades using Wavelab. I fixed up the resulting tracks using shntool,
and then I compressed the files using \"flac --best\". I used shntool
version 3.0.2, flac version 1.1.3, and Wavelab version 6.
