Jack Straw
April 22, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

A top ten Jackie for sure. Blows any version post '79 way outta the water. It even has a Nashville flavor you'll have to listen yourself to taste it!
Jack Straw
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Don't overlook the amazing vocals and Keith's bouncy playing on this one
Here Comes Sunshine
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

This one belongs on the top - with 10/25/73 and 11/14/73 not far behind
So Many Roads
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

This is the one. If it weren't for the significance of 7/9/95, this one would have to be considered the biggest tear jerker of all the SMR. The final refrain is so damn powerful
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

Those church bells that Bruce(?) lays down during the infancy of Franklin's are so damn beautiful.
