I don't know what it is about this version...it has vocal miscues, but is just epic at an epic run.

A similar version to most from May 77 with some exceptions. Not sure why the next night at same venue is ranked so much higher.

If all the others are on here from May, this one shuldn't be forgotten. However, most are tough to differentiate from May 77.

Welcome Moses...did u try 5/17/77 in Bama...its right up there. Also, 10/14/94 is a 35 minute version that is top ten in any era...I know its blasphemy to think 1994, but trust me...the ending crescendo is like no other.

Winterland Arena

This starts off an amazing show with huge versions of Sugaree, Jack-a-Roe, Lazy>Sup, Estimated, Eyes, O1, Wharf Rat, and NFA>GDTRFB...and this show isn't even as good as 6/9...what a Fuckin' run!

Good version, but many are better from 1977 alone. 6/9/77 is better just to name one! 5/17/77 to name another. Raceway is a given. This isn't even in my top 5 for 1977 and certainly not top 5 of all-time.
