Here's a real nice example of Franklin's Tower from the Grateful Dead's 1980 Halloween show at Radio City Music Hall.

Great sound quality, and even better videography on this one. From intimate shots of Jerry singing and playing to a few gems of the whole band packed into one frame.

You can get the pre-FM soundboard in streaming format on archive.org.

Bonus Video: Al Franken interviews Brent Mydland

Watch as Brent tries to figure out St. Stephen while getting razzed by Al Franken during the setbreak.

Sorry. You need to Flash to watch this movie.

Hat tip to splaif for the video.
