Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Madison Square Garden

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Decided to listen to this on Mother's day today. Only version of 93 at this killer show/run. Last run before the onslaught of all the new material. Run continues that December 92 magic.
Not Fade Away

Winterland Arena

This is an intense version. Everything this night is powerful. The whole show has 1977 pureness with extra intensity. Has to be Wolf coming out. Every version this night could be in the conversation of best of 1977 or best ever.
