Had not listened to this show in a very long time as I'm usually listening to 72-74 and 77. WOW. Great version and great show. Thanks for this, as I often forget that concerts past 77 are worth listening to.

I don't know of anyone in my circle who doesn't love this show. In fact, I have several friends who prefer 5-25 to 5-8. I think this is a killer version, but like 5-28 better. Just can't go wrong with May 77, and I'm a 73-74 diehard. Great pick.

I love many versions of S/F, but this one is the most hypnotic of them all. Can't say I have a favorite version, but I listen to this one the most.

I'm voting for this because it was the first show I attended. I worked at Blossom for 2 years. Wonderful venue. Went on to see over fifty shows. Hard to believe that was over 27 years ago.

One of my favorite 73 shows. Nice.
