Grateful Dead
Noteworthy Help-Slipknot!-Franklinses

This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Help On The Way,
Slipknot!, and/or Franklin's Tower played by the Greatful Dead. It is
a revision of a collection originally circulated on eTree in
September, 2008.

http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=518734

The original collection was 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_. This revised collection includes sources from
Eric's list that were omitted from the original collection because I
did not believe I should seed them at eTree. It drops some of the
versions I used to "replace" versions I didn't think I could seed. It
also adds other versions that were recommended in the comments on the
original collection, as well as versions that I thought should be
added. Remember, "noteworthy" does not mean "best". I welcome your
ideas about what should be included or dropped from the
collection. There could easily be a version 3.

While there were times when Help-Slipknot!-Franklin was expanded and
became a part of a larger jam, we only have one example of that
here. It was more common to see the promiscuous Franklin out with
other songs in interesting jams, leaving Help-Slipknot! unplayed on
the bench: we have several of those included here. In this collection
I've tried to keep the focus on the songs of honor, as it were,
including other songs only when they seemed integrally related to
these.

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. The music in these tracks is exactly the same
as the music from the source indicated by the SHNID. When necessary, I
joined the songs into jams using "shntool join", I snipped white space
from the end of the tracks and sometimes added fades using WaveLab
6.0, and then I compressed the files using "flac --best". I used
shntool version 3.0.9 and flac version 1.2.1.

If you have the first version of this collection, you should be able
to leech over it and only grab the changes: you'll have to rename the
old tracks first, as I've had to use six-digit SHNIDs i this version
of the project.
