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.

Another great version from 1979. Love the transition from Dancin. Dave picked this pair right. Cape Cod is more famous, but I am not sure its better????

This should be ranked higher from best show of 1989-1995.
