Oh man can't forget this one! Electric Truckin' jam into some awesome, spacey almost Playin' territory before they land on a great Let It Grow

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

Veterans Auditorium

Possibly my favorite, Jerry's pedal steel playing is great
Dire Wolf

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!

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