Received dating. Often included with this material is a batch of “Crazy Fingers” takes, including the final version selected for Blues For Allah, which took place on June 4th (per the studio tracking sheet). But the draft version of “Help On the Way/Slipknot!” is sufficiently different from its final form (also appearing on June tapes, though its final take wasn’t until July 3rd) that the April date would seem to be correct. Or maybe not?
Steve Brown original annotation on tape #44, side A: “Radio show (over old GD session) Robin Williams, Alex Bennett. // Garcia warm-ups last 10 min. G.D. hot jam! Old blues instru.”
Steve Brown original annotation on tape #44, side B: “Blue Noodle Soup. Toast + Jam. Basic work on ‘Music Never Stopped.’ Otis + Garcia duel. Help On the Way.”
