Start with these Good Lovin' versions
Best first listen: 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.
Another strong choice: September 3, 1977 · Raceway Park · Englishtown, NJ, US
This is stadium-scale Dead with focus intact. Once the long second-set suite starts, the show feels both festive and intent.
First catalog performance: May 19, 1966 · Avalon Ballroom · San Francisco, CA, US
Last catalog performance: June 28, 1995 · The Palace · Auburn Hills, MI, US
