Not the best recording, but the jamming more than makes up for it...this is a favorite for Fall '77 after 10/29.

Damn, this one is short but ridiculously hot for 1977!

Probably the best LIG of 1977 and my favorite stand-alone version!

Wicked jamming in an underrated show; the conclusion is especially H.O.T.

I agree, this one is painfully underrated. More people should hear this!

This is a great one. Maybe not quite as good as Cornell but definitely a standout from '77.

Seriously, this is probably the best version of the year. Wish I could vote for it twice.

A great one! Definitely better than Cornell, but not quite as stunning as 5/21/77, which is the 2nd best of the year IMO.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

There are better in May '77 alone IMHO. Check out 5/13, 5/17, and especially 5/21, as others have mentioned. Still an epic version though, with a totally unique transition.
