Best first listen: June 9, 1977 · Winterland · San Francisco, CA, US
Polished late-spring 1977 phrasing meets a second set that still takes chances. The result is both approachable and structurally unusual.
Another strong choice: January 11, 1979 · Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum · Uniondale, NY, US
Another strong choice: May 9, 1977 · Buffalo Memorial Auditorium · Buffalo, NY, US
Buffalo opens with one of the sharpest Help Slip Franklin entries of the month and stays taut deep into the second set. It feels slightly less mythic than Cornell on reputation alone, but not by execution.
First catalog performance: March 23, 1974 · Cow Palace · Daly City, CA, US
Last catalog performance: July 6, 1995 · Riverport Amphitheatre · Maryland Heights, MO, US
