Best first listen: February 15, 1973 · Dane County Coliseum · Madison, WI, US
Madison is where the post-Pigpen band sounds newly elastic, jazzy, and curious. It is a strong bridge from fall 1972 space into the Eyes of the World era.
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: December 16, 1978 · Nashville Municipal Auditorium · Nashville, TN, US
First catalog performance: October 19, 1971 · Northrop Auditorium, University of Minnesota · Minneapolis, MN, US
Last catalog performance: July 8, 1995 · Soldier Field · Chicago, IL, US
