This one really soars and rivals 5/7/78 as my favorite.

Very powerful version with fun jamming and a raucous ending from a show I neglected for too long

If nothing else check out jam from 4:10-6:31 it's insane. Recording is mostly Jerry, Keith and Phil but it works.

For Bobby slide fans, great ripping version from their killer first set since Egypt. Jed--->Straw are fire!

I would rank this up there with 12/31/79 as best Jackie of the month. The SBD is full and the show rips, the China>Rider and Shakedown is insane

^Check out 1/22/78 and 4/22/78 for matching first set energy. As of 10/12/77, this was the rock and roll king of Deals.

I'm with both Wheel and Jerry'sBitch. This version makes me wants to march significantly more than most(not all), for example check out 5/21/77. It's just as tight and has a lot more twists, Kieth and ends more climatically.

This and 6/9 are clearly twin brothers. Some days I just prefer one over the other. Love the ridiculous tight SBDs from this run.
