Franklin's Tower
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

A really good version, coming off a somewhat sloppy Help into a fantastic Slipknot. But the thing that always strikes me about this is that around the 11:30 mark, Keith begins playing the Foolish Heart riff.
Desolation Row
March 31, 1987
The Spectrum

Love Bob's two "oops" during this challenging song. Very well played.
Candyman
March 31, 1987
The Spectrum

Great audience reaction throughout, especially when Jerry reaches the "Candyman's in town" line. The Spectrum always seemed like home court, and this is the first post-coma performance at a great (and criminally under-appreciated) show.
