Despite a buzzkill audience patch, this one is as classic as they come

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.

Paramount Theatre

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

Memorial Coliseum

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.
