I don't even have to listen to other versions to give this one my vote. Heartbreakingly beautiful, let those tears flow.

The first jam in this version is transcendent. The energy/focus seems to wane in the subsequent jams. It was a tough call for me, but I have to go with 5/19/77 as my top version. This is a close second. edit: After repeated listenings, I feel this one takes 5/19/77. This is the best!

The playing up to the first verse is magical!

They are firing on all cylinders here, Jerry's leads are wonderful, crackles with energy!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Untouchable by every other version I have ever heard. They are obviously so eager and excited to play. The transition between Slipknot and Franklin's Tower is completely seamless and magical!
