This is the third and last installment of Dancin'>Franklin's. Cape Cod and Buffalo are both better, but this one is pretty cool too.

Drop everything and go to tapers section now and listen!. The 01 is an instant classic and this Cryptical has that classic 1970 build-up.

Slow long version with nice solo at end. I think this one is so good due to the NFA before it and the smoking GDTRFB after.

Foolish Heart
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

This show may be the best of that great summer tour. This Foolish is awesome, definitely should be ranked higher. Jerry's final solo is crazy...you can tell the band is ready to stop, but Jerry goes until he decides. Rumor it will be a DL pick.

One of the best here. Almost 17 mins. Everyone is firing on this one. Top 5 IMHO.
Attics of My Life

Attics is always so fitting at epic shows. This is a beut.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Hey Slowly too...glad u voted this up. I would like to mention that Dick put this in his top 5 of all S>F's. The ending crescendo and the rider transition are just a few of the many aspects that make this version epic.

It tells you how crazy this version is for it to be in the top 20 of all DS's. It definitely deserves it for its complete scariness and for that to happen in the late 80's...it deserves its place in GD lore.
