Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

IMHO, this is without a doubt the best-ever version of Franklin's...the energy is unmatched.
Franklin's Tower
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Indeed a classic Frankin's...actually one of my favorite versions of the whole Help>Slip>Franklin's suite. letitgrow, have you had the pleasure of hearing 10/9/76? If you like energy, I definitely suggest that version! (It's on Dick's Picks, 33, not on the archive anymore).
Dire Wolf
June 27, 1969
Veterans Auditorium

Possibly my favorite, Jerry's pedal steel playing is great
Dire Wolf
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Get a grip dude...there are lots of great versions of every song. That's why we keep coming back to the boys. Anyways, very nice Dire Wolf in a classic show!
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Jerry has some wonderful leads, and the interplay with Ned Lagin is fantastic!
