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.

I do love this version, but its not 2nd best of all time. Maybe top 20.

I love this run, this one is very good, but not up there with 5/8 and 5/17 or even 5/11. All three nights of run are perfect tho.

This whole first set is epic. Aside from the fire works to come the next night.
